Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care education with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage conditions extending from commonplace disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the expertise crucial to execute surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
