Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing health care education with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage issues stretching from normal afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
