Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial healthcare education with an attention to on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with complications extending from normal afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities.
