Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing healthcare training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle difficulties ranging from simple problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities.
