Shelbi Bond, DO

Medical school: Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine

Undergraduate: University of Central Oklahoma

Family life: Married to my amazing husband, Daniel. We have two beautiful children, Callum (who will be 3 yo in Sept) and Gemma (celebrating her first birthday in May).

Hobbies: With my busy lifestyle, I love spending my free time hanging out with my little family. We love going to local parks and trying new restaurants. I also enjoy watching competition reality shows (survivor is my jam when cocomelon isn’t playing for the kiddos)

Professional interests: My current interest is to be a general obstetrician/gynecologist and to hopefully bring a unique perspective with my pediatrics training to the field. I have really enjoyed teaching students throughout my training so I may decide to venture into academia in the future. If there’s anything I’ve learnt over the years, it’s to keep an open mind! 

Why I chose this program: I had the opportunity to experience the program secondhand through my husband over the past 3 years. I found the small class sizes allow for individualized attention and guidance from faculty members, excellent educational opportunities, and a family atmosphere throughout the program.

aircraft, and collect cool art and books with Liv.

Rebecca Nuss, MD

Medical School: Louisiana State University School of Medicine New Orleans

Undergraduate: Southeastern Louisiana University

Family Life: I have a really wonderful family back home, but in Oklahoma, I'm starting small with just myself and my dog/best friend, Tidepod.

Hobbies: I've always loved singing and playing music; I was even in a medical school band!  To stay fit, I do aerial fitness/dance because what better way to exercise than by hanging from the ceiling? I also enjoy craft projects and spending time with family, friends, and animals.

Professional Interests: After residency, I would like to go into a Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) fellowship.  My specific interests include working with underserved populations, chronic pelvic pain management, and trauma-informed GYN care.

Why I Chose This Program: When I interviewed with this program, I felt extremely welcome and at ease with both the residents and faculty.  Being far from home, it was important to me to feel like I could build a work family here, so the small program atmosphere was appealing.  In addition, I love the idea of being prepared for fellowship in an academic environment while still having some components of a community program.
