Specialists at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant health care training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat conditions ranging from typical afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
