Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing medical education with an importance on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems ranging from common afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks.
