For our NextGen Journeys series, host Hillary Acer sat down with Dr. Brian Le at a major moment of transition as he was just finishing up his residency in family medicine at Adventist Health in Glendale, California. As he embarks on his next chapter, Dr. Le reflects on the highlights of his medical education journey and takes stock of the key lessons he will bring forward with him. “I think the biggest thing that I've learned so far is you really don't know what you don't know, which goes to one of the reasons why I wanted to pursue medicine... there's always an endless pursuit of knowledge and of improving yourself,” he shares. There's also an endless amount of knowledge coming at today's clinicians which, he says, requires a good dose of humility. “Those who don't remain humble, in my opinion, can't really thrive in this environment just because there's always something new to learn.” Dr. Le's learning journey included earning a DO from A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Mesa, Arizona -- one of Osmosis' key learning partners -- a master's degree in medical health sciences from Touro University in California, and serving as an Osmosis Medical Education Fellow and curriculum consultant.  Considering that wealth of education and experience, it's no wonder you're in for a wisdom drop on learning, medicine, and the future of healthcare from one of the newest members of the next generation of caregivers.Mentioned in this episode: A.T.

“I'm an artist on the plate. I'm an advocate on the plate. I get to paint the plate with all these beautiful colors of the food I choose to cook.” —Nina Curtis   Advocating for the plate is a multi-faceted concept at the intersection of aesthetics, quality, and social responsibility. It is an essential part of promoting our health and shaping the well-being of our earthly home and everything in it.    But this movement is not as complicated as it may seem. In fact, the epitome of good health often lies in the simplicity of the food we choose to serve on our plates.
