Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – St. Albert concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough medical training with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for problems ranging from general conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the expertise essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
