Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable health care instruction with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address complications ranging from conventional afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
