Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical education with an importance on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles.
