Dr. Kevin Perera

I completed my Bachelor of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary before studying medicine at the University of Alberta. I was drawn to neurology for its exciting and ever-changing future—there is always more to learn, and new treatments hold incredible promise for improving patients’ lives.

 I hope to build a career as a general neurologist, with a growing interest in palliative neurology and compassionate, patient-centered care. I believe medicine is as much about human connection as it is about science, and I’m also passionate about teaching and lifelong learning, which I hope to incorporate into my practice.

 Outside of residency, I enjoy watching sports, going to the gym, and spending time with friends and family. A fun fact about me is that I’m a twin! What excites me most about neurology is that we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible, and I can’t wait to see how the field evolves in the decades ahead.
