Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained considerable health care training with a stress on complications regarding the ankles and feet.
