Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial health care instruction with an attention to on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle complications ranging from usual ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet typically experience.
