Dr. Aaron Palmer - They Took a Chance on Me (Part 2)

Black Men In White Coats

Growing up in poverty, not having the funds to pay for college, losing a father at an early age, and struggling to lift up a 1.8 GPA is a tall task for any premedical student. This is not the type of student typically accepted to medical school but all it took was 1 school to give Dr. Aaron Palmer a shot. His life experience understanding the struggle and overcoming these hardships led him to the top of his class and now into the prestigious field of Neurosurgery. IMPORTANT LINKS!!!!!!
