Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable health care training with a stress on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to manage concerns varying from familiar disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet usually experience.
