Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable health care training with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems varying from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
