After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired encompassing healthcare education with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with problems ranging from general disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
