Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage problems stretching from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet frequently experience.
