Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough health care instruction with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to treat complications extending from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless troubles which the feet commonly experience.
