Physicians at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to handle conditions stretching from regular problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.

Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
