Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received encompassing medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for issues extending from simple afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities.
