Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree.

Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles.
