Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Calgary Sunpark specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to handle issues varying from basic disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
