Physicians at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree.

After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.
At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions ranging from commonplace conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.
Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet normally experience.
