Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical instruction with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns ranging from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
