He graduated with highest honors from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, garnering, among other awards, the Kash Award in Anatomy and Neurosciences, the Barbour Award in Pharmacology and Toxicology, and the McGraw-Hill Book Award for the outstanding medical student. His incredible accomplishments gained him early induction as a junior medical student into the Alpha Omega Alpha honorary society.
Before and during medical school, Dr. Le performed lipoprotein and molecular biology research at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., working under the direction of two former presidents of the American Heart Association.
Dr. Le subsequently completed an internship in General Surgery and a residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at St. Louis University School of Medicine, under the direction of renowned facial cosmetic surgeon J. Regan Thomas, M.D., former president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). In residency, Dr. Le logged over 2,600 facial, head, and neck procedures and won the Resident Research Award.
He then became an instructor and fellow of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Miami in Miami, Fla., a mecca for plastic surgery. During his fellowship, Dr. Le logged over 800 advanced facial plastic procedures and worked with some of the most well-known facial plastic surgeons in the country, including Robert Simons, M.D. (also a former president of AAFPRS), Richard Davis, M.D., Julio Gallo, M.D., Brian Jewett, M.D., and Jeffrey Epstein, M.D.
