Hi APAMSA family! My name is KerCheng Chen (or KC and I am an MS3 at the SUNY Downstate College of Medicine. I was born and raised in Elmhurst, Queens (where there is a large AANPHI community) and attended college at UPenn where I received a B.S. in Biology. Before entering medical school, I worked as a clinical research coordinator in sleep medicine. Throughout my life, the AANHPI community played an integral role in my academic, professional, and personal growth, shaping my values and passions. I am strongly committed to play an active role in it. I served as
APAMSA’s Communications Vice President and Co-Social Media Director, and this year, I am excited to serve as your Region II Director! Outside of school, I enjoy eating good food, photographing friends, and aspiring to become a full-time plant mom.
