Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving 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 completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat complications stretching from usual afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
