Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant health care training with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with concerns stretching from regular ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.
