Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing healthcare training with a main focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage difficulties stretching from conventional problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
