Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable health care instruction with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from simple disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which provide them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet generally experience.
