Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.
At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with an importance on concerns involving the feet and ankles.

Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities.
