Doctor Wood initially received two Bachelors of Arts in Microbiology and Physiology from Southern Illinois University of Carbondale before matriculating to medical school at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and earning her Medical Doctorate. From there she completed Family Medicine Residency training at St. Louis University Family Medicine Residency, while at the same time enrolling and completing training for a Masters of Science in Public Health from St. Louis University.
There are two tracks of study for Obesity Medicine Certification. Dr. Wood chose the Certified Medical Education credit hour track for her certification. In this pathway, she had to be in good standing with her Family Medicine Board Certification (completed in 2009), then complete 60 credit hours of obesity medicine related medical education. The bulk of these credit hours were earned through the late February 2021 and received her certification. She has also received training and certification from the Aesthetic Medical Educators Training Program and the Saratoga Laser Institute.
