Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems varying from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet routinely experience.
