After graduation, she moved to rural Alaska, where she shadowed physician assistants practicing in rural primary care clinics at the Alaska Native Medical Center. Janell has been accepted to the Idaho State University’s Physician Assistant Program.

Janell’s essay was about a motorcycle accident that resulted in serious injuries. Her ability and perseverance in fighting the long road to recovery has made her the amazing person she is today and her desire to pursue a career in medicine.
