Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with a stress on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle concerns ranging from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
