Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical training with a concentration on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat problems extending from commonplace conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience crucial to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet regularly experience.
