Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions.
