Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 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 secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools.
