Specialists at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat complications ranging from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience needed to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet regularly experience.
