Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for complications varying from usual afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
