She completed her medical degree at Des Moines University, and her family medicine residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center/Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha. Following that she served for the Air Force as an outpatient family medicine physician at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.

Wedeking said she became a family medicine physician because she truly loves developing Long-lasting relationships with her patients and wants to care for the whole family from birth until death. She has a special interest in holistic women’s health, obstetrical care and breastfeeding medicine.

During her training she obtained her certification to become an international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and recently became board-certified in breastfeeding medicine (NABBLM-C).

Wedeking said she is excited to practice medicine in Charles City. As an osteopathic physician she practices in a holistic way, incorporating all facets of physical, emotional, social and mental well-being into her practice.

She said she appreciates the team at FCMC, and believes they have a lot to offer.

Wedeking and her family live on a 10-acre farm north of Charles City. She has been married to Derek for almost 12 years and they have three young children, ages 8, 5 and 2, who will be attending the local public school.
