Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care training with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat conditions extending from normal conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
