Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired encompassing healthcare education with an importance on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat problems varying from basic ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet normally experience.
