About Gregory

Gregory P. Clark, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, is a certified physician associate with Cody Regional Health Orthopedics. A lifelong Wyoming resident with deep roots in the Big Horn Basin, Clark brings extensive experience in orthopedic care and a strong commitment to helping patients understand their conditions and make informed decisions about their treatment.

Born in Powell and raised on a farm outside Lovell, Clark developed an interest in medicine while attending the University of Wyoming. After shadowing healthcare professionals and exploring different areas of medicine, he chose to pursue a career as a physician assistant. He earned bachelor’s degrees in biology and natural science/mathematics from the University of Wyoming before joining the inaugural Physician Assistant Studies class at Rocky Mountain College in Billings.

During his PA training, Clark completed an orthopedic rotation in Cody that helped shape the direction of his career. He went on to build his professional career in Park County, primarily specializing in orthopedics. His experience encompasses orthopedic clinic care, surgical first assisting, inpatient rounding, joint injections, casting and splinting, postoperative care, and interpretation of laboratory and imaging studies. He has also worked in nonsurgical pain management, caring for patients with spine and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Clark has a particular professional interest in the evaluation and treatment of knee arthritis, including both nonsurgical and surgical treatment options. His article, “Treatment options for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in adults,” was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Associates.

Committed to continued learning, Clark earned a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and later completed a Doctor of Medical Science degree through Rocky Mountain College. His passion for education extends beyond his own training. Throughout his career, he has served as a clinical preceptor for students pursuing careers in medicine, nursing and advanced practice, and he also teaches human anatomy and physiology as a visiting professor.

At the center of Clark’s approach to care is shared decision-making. He believes patients should leave their appointments with a clear understanding of their diagnosis, available treatment options and the information they need to participate confidently in decisions about their care.

For Clark, practicing medicine in the Big Horn Basin is also deeply personal. He and his wife have made Park County their home since 1997, raising their family in the same region where they both have longstanding ties. He values the relationships that come with practicing in a close-knit community and appreciates caring for people he may also see at the grocery store, church, or throughout the community.

Outside of work, Clark enjoys exploring the mountains and spending time outdoors with his family. He is active in his church and enjoys teaching and volunteering. Clark and his wife also share a love of traveling to theme parks and riding high-thrill roller coasters with their family.
