Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Camrose focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.
