Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle issues ranging from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet typically experience.
