They devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with complications stretching from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.
