Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat conditions ranging from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
