Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and several podiatry programs lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive medical education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for problems stretching from general afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical 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 tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet routinely experience.
