Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an importance on issues concerning the feet and ankles.
