"I’m Perkell, a second-year medical student at the American Canadian School of Medicine. My path into medicine started with an interest in lab work, but along the way I picked up experience in clinical research and found myself drawn further into the clinical side of medicine. Now I spend my days juggling classes, research projects, and more coffee than I’d like to admit. Outside of school, I stay connected to my research background while continuing to make new connections and figure out where this path in medicine will lead."
