From the moment Rachel entered the examining room I immediately felt at ease and confident that my long list of questions today would be answered in a knowledgeable way. She is so warm and engaging in addition to being very patient each and every time I interjected additional questions throughout my appointment. Northwestern is fortunate to have Rachel as one of their team members and I am equally lucky she was assigned my case today as I could not be happier with how the appointment went.

Disclosures

Rachel O. Markell, PA-C reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
