Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received considerable healthcare training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat concerns stretching from regular conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
