Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired encompassing medical training with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to deal with concerns ranging from regular problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities.
