Dr. Shepard completed a semester-long internship at the Cheyenne VA Hospital, gaining valuable insight into the VA system and developing a passion for helping veterans with their hearing healthcare needs. She continues to support veterans whenever possible. Her Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY) was completed at a fast-paced ENT clinic in Arkansas, where she advanced her skills in diagnosing hearing and balance disorders, working with surgical ears, and managing complex hearing aid fittings.
In 2004, Dr. Shepard managed five hearing aid centers in Colorado, gaining extensive knowledge in hearing aid performance and prescription changes according to best practice care. While starting her family, she transitioned to private practice, co-owning a clinic with another Doctor of Audiology for seven successful years before returning to Cody to develop Cody Regional Health’s first audiology department.
In 2022, Dr. Shepard proudly opened her solo practice, Cody Audiology Clinic, to continue providing personalized, high-quality audiology care to her community.
