Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree.

After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired encompassing medical education with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to address concerns ranging from common disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
