After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet.
