Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet.

Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the experience needed to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
