Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical education with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address complications ranging from regular disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
