Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Calgary specialize 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 get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical instruction with a stress on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage problems ranging from typical ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
