Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing medical training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for difficulties ranging from conventional disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
