EDUCATION:
Dr. Wendy Arnold's diverse training commenced with her B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1994, where she earned two majors: Business Administration and Journalism. Her post-baccalaureate study included core science requirements for the application to medical school. She attended the Uniformed Services University, graduating with a medical degree in 2008. This school has 52 more credit hours required than most American medical schools to better prepare military physicians to care for troops with spartan logistics while working in developing countries. Additional training focused on entomology, parasitology and trauma training in simulated combat environments.
PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON:
Dr. Wendy Arnold has a unique approach to medicine that is both allopathic and therefore heavily evidenced based, yet integrative based on her dual board certifications.
She first earned board certification in family medicine in 2011. With this specialty, she has worked in the dynamic environment of full scope primary care. Full scope includes the fast-paced outpatient clinical environment, in addition to inpatient medicine to include critical care (ICU) patients. Wendy was selected during her residency to attend medical acupuncture training.
She also completed an obstetrical fellowship, which certified her to perform surgical deliveries of babies in addition to management of more complicated obstetrics. She earned a second board certification in Integrative Medicine. This dichotomous medical background influences her practice to understand and appreciate pharmaceuticals and surgeries but prefer behavior and other alternative approaches to health and wellness whenever possible.
She is recognized by her colleagues as an award-winning physician leader and a trailblazer in Navy medicine. She has been teaching other physicians to use integrative rather than pharmaceutical methods for treating various conditions.
