Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing medical instruction with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat concerns extending from familiar problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
