Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions extending from usual disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet generally experience.
