Biography

My name is Shelby Moderow, and I am currently stationed at Hill AFB, UT where I work in the WOMC clinic. I joined the Air Force in 2013 when I enlisted as an Aerospace Medical Technician. I served in the North Dakota Air National Guard for seven years while attaining my undergraduate degree. I also worked as the Chief Medical Scribe at Altru ER for 2 years while I applied to Physician Assistant School. I was accepted and began at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT. I was grateful that during my rotations, I traveled somewhere new every 6 weeks across Montana, Utah, North Dakota, and Minnesota. During PA school I was the president of my class and helped my class navigate school during COVID. We engaged in the community as safely as we could promoting good health, welfare, and education about the PA career field. I had a recruiter reach out to me who recommended the HPSP scholarship. I applied and was one of ten people to receive the scholarship in that cycle. Throughout my time in PA school, I was fortunate enough to be awarded the PA Student of The Year which was a selection made among my faculty. I graduated PA school in August of 2022, and have been working at Hill AFB since September 2022. I recently finished OTS and graduated with the honor of distinguished graduate. My family lives in North Dakota and have all served in the USAF. My sister Skyler is currently an AD dentist at GFAFB and is a mother to my 10 month old niece Anya. In my spare time, I love to read, write, play piano, paint, play percussion, sing, hike, and spend time with my lovely friends and boyfriend Tyler.
