Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and various podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care education with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems stretching from common conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
