Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Leduc specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address difficulties ranging from general disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
