In this episode of White Coats and Rice, we sat down with Lester Andrew Uy, a current pre-medical and pre-law student who is also a Program administrator and researcher at the Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education. In this episode, Lester gives us insight into how more inclusive research and stronger community relationships can make health disparities visible and create space for equitable policy reform. In addition to exploring how his business and accounting background has shaped his current aspirations, we also discuss how his Filipino family and cultural experience also played an invaluable role in his journey thus far.
