Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an attention to on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems extending from conventional ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
