Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging healthcare education with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems stretching from standard conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet generally encounter.
