Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle.

Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing medical instruction with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address complications ranging from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
