Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough health care education with an attention to on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet.
