International Health Humanities Network Membership

I am a child psychiatrist, the Associate Program Director for the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Southern California, and the medical director for the Child and Adolescent Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic at LAC-USC Medical Center.  As a physician and musician, I have interests in all the fantastic ways in which music and medicine overlap, often serving to meet the needs of patients and providers alike.  I routinely employ elements of music and art in the care of my child psychiatric patients, be it individual or group settings, and try to instruct my child psychiatry fellows in the same.  Similarly, I am routinely blessed with the opportunity to teach interactive Music and Medicine sessions to medical students in a Medical Humanities course at USC's Keck School of Medicine.
