Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat issues extending from familiar problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
