Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care training with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage concerns ranging from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
