Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable health care education with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues varying from regular disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks.
