Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical instruction with an attention to on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet.

Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
