"Dr. Shelby graduated from Ross University Medical School in 2013 and completed his family medicine residency at the University of Wyoming in Cheyenne, Wyoming. But his path to medicine was a non-traditional journey - from farm life to the environmental field to manure hauling. His well-rounded life experience has made him a better doctor and patient advocate. He, his wife, and two children enjoy Iowa living, its agricultural roots, and its family-friendly community. After a non-traditional path to medicine (see “His Story” below), Dr. Shelby began medical school at Ross University in January 2009, where he completed two years of academic training. For his clinical rotations, he headed to New England (Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut). Dr. Shelby then took additional training at Ross in pediatrics, surgery and anesthesia. He graduated with his MD in 2013 and completed his family medicine residency at the University of Wyoming in Cheyenne. “Studying abroad in Dominica, a third-world country with many first-world amenities, was rewarding,” says Dr. Shelby. “The university was technologically advanced and offered top-notch training for a career in medicine. The people of Dominica were welcoming and grateful.”"
