Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat conditions varying from conventional conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet generally encounter.
