This experience led him to pursue medical school.While meeting medical school requirements, Dr. Howell worked as an Emergency Medical Technician in a locked-down facility for high-risk children in Newport Beach, CA. Later, he became a behavioral health therapist at a lockdown facility in Long Beach Pacific Hospital, gaining valuable insights into professional boundaries and patient trust.Moving to Chicago to complete prerequisites and apply to medical school, Dr. Howell worked as a blood gas analyst at Northwestern Hospital's clinical laboratory. His responsibilities included following quality assessment plans, performing daily quality controls, and handling equipment
repairs.After completing medical school through American University, Dr. Howell majored in Family Practice at the Louisiana State University affiliated Baton Rouge General Family Medicine Residency Program. The residency, significantly impacted by Hurricane Katrina, evolved into a focus on Emergency Care, Infectious Disease, and Psychiatry due to the aftermath of the disaster.Post-residency, Dr. Howell, along with his medical school girlfriend, founded five urgent cares across the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.
