They put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from standard ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.
