Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree.

After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable health care instruction with a focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage conditions ranging from regular ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.
