Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare training with an attention to on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to handle problems varying from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks.
