Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical education with a focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat complications stretching from standard ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet usually experience.
