Manage episode 421178988 series 2984079
If we didn’t know Dr. Brian Ogendi, we might be concerned about someone being able to pull off a residency and two fellowships while being a father of two young boys, but we do know Brian through his work with our Osmosis Medical Education Fellows (OMEF) program in which he played a major role while earning both his MD and MBA degrees. In other words, we’re not worried. Host Hillary Acer checked in with Brian recently as he was wrapping up med school and preparing to start a residency in Internal Medicine/Physician-Scientist Pathway at UVA Health with a fellowship in infectious disease and critical care medicine. “For me, medicine and research really go hand in hand. They enhance each other, they sharpen each other,” he explains. He’s already demonstrated that in his role as research advisor to the OMEF program where he drew on his work at the NIH and elsewhere to provide grounding and encouragement to learners. Brian is hoping to put all of this education and experience to work providing care to underserved communities both in the United States and in his native Kenya, leveraging a global network built through Osmosis to do so. Don’t miss this uplifting installment in our Next Gen Journeys series full of advice on juggling heavy workloads and family responsibilities while gaining the skills to become an effective, community-minded physician.
