Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare education with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with complications stretching from common problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
