Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Camrose concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions ranging from usual disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
