Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical education with an attention to on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for difficulties stretching from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
