Doctors at The Foot Institute – Camrose provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare training with an attention to on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for problems ranging from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet routinely encounter.
