| Dr. Woodward has had a lifelong interest in science and especially space science, and had an early ambition to become an astronomer. He entered college with this goal in mind, but ultimately decided on a career in medicine. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a B.S. in physics and attended medical school at the University of Nevada, receiving his M.D. in 1984. He did a rotating internship at the Naval Hospital in Oakland, California and then attended Naval Flight Surgeon training in Pensacola, Florida. He served as a U.S. Navy flight surgeon for about two and a half years at the Naval Air Station in Dallas, Texas. He then returned to Naval Hospital Oakland for specialty training in pathology, which he completed in 1992. He was assigned as the pathologist and Head of Laboratory at the Naval Hospital at the Navy Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut. He finished his Navy service and moved to Gillette in 1995 and is now the Laboratory Director for Campbell County Memorial Hospital.
Dr. Woodward continues to have an interest in astronomy and is currently working on a backyard observatory with the goal of research and measurement of variable stars. He has also obtained his private pilot's license.
