Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical instruction with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address issues ranging from basic disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
