Last week, David attended the AANP 2026 National Conference in Las Vegas โ several days of seminars, lectures, research updates, and clinical education.
But conferences are only one part of staying current.
Medicine keeps changing. New studies come out. Guidelines evolve. Better tools become available. Health and science news changes quickly. And no medical provider โ doctor, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or anyone else โ knows everything.
That is why learning cannot stop after passing boards.
Aside from caring for his patients, David spends at least 5 hours each week reading new journal articles, following health and science news, reviewing new developments, and continuing to study topics that may help patients receive better care.
At Long Life Med, ongoing education is not just something we do because continuing education is required. It is part of how we practice.
We also believe this applies to life in general.
Your brain needs activity, challenge, curiosity, and purpose. Whether itโs reading, learning something new, doing crossword puzzles or Sudoku, taking a class, staying socially connected, or staying engaged after retirement โ the brain benefits from being used.
โWhat you donโt use, you loseโ applies to muscles, mobility, and the mind.
David is a board-certified nurse practitioner, not a physician. He is not perfect, and he does not know everything. But he does believe in staying curious, staying humble, and continuing to learn โ for our patients, for ourselves, and because learning is part of lifelong health.
