Return to Tulane Doctors

Dr. Percak is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Section of Adult Infectious Disease at the Tulane University School of Medicine, and Adjunct Faculty at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. He is the program director for the Tulane University Adult Infectious Diseases fellowship training program, the medical director for both the Tulane Total Health Clinic for people living with HIV and for the Tulane Travel Health Clinic. His clinical practice includes primary care for people living with HIV, outpatient management of people affected by tuberculosis at the Wetmore Clinic, inpatient general infectious disease consultation, and pre-travel health counseling and preventive treatments. He is an enthusiastic educator in clinical and classroom settings; he precepts ID fellows at the HIV Outpatient Program clinic and in the hospital, serves as the assistant clerkship director for the Internal Medicine clerkship, and teaches Clinical Tropical Medicine and Tropical Medicine Seminar courses at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. He is in the process of designing a public health course in Bo, Sierra Leone working with colleagues from the Tulane SPH&TM and Njala University.

Outside of work he loves spending time outdoors with his family, especially enjoying canoe trips on Louisiana’s rivers, marshes and bayous, and has recently revived an old passion for windsurfing. He has been pulling his hair out through the process of restoring a 1969 Nomad camper but has a great time camping with the family whenever they can. He likes reading good books, making serviceable ceramics, playing less serviceable guitar, aspires to better woodworking, and looks forward to dusting off his trombone. He looks forward to getting back to international travel sometime soon.
