Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat problems varying from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet generally experience.
