Performing Arts Medicine Clinic Goes Live!
February 10, 2024. Lunar new year (year of the wood dragon). Today I got to do what I set out to do in medical school: have a clinic exclusively for performing artists. Could not have done this without the support of many, many people across the years – grateful to them, and to God who […]

Symphonic Rides by UPSO
Medical school memory (perhaps in internship year?): I remember walking along Pedro Gil St. towards the College of Medicine’s entrance gates, and talking to forever block mate Lyanna about my future practice in Performing Arts Medicine. In particular, how I would get an “ex-deal” with tickets… get to watch performances for free in exchange for […]

A mid-August visit to the University of the Philippines College of Music: it felt like coming home!
