Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical training with an attention to on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to address concerns extending from regular afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied 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 undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
