Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received encompassing health care education with a stress on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to address issues stretching from general problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities.
