Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree.
