Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree.

Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet.
