Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant healthcare education with a main focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to manage issues extending from simple afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet normally experience.
