S2 Ep5: Finding the Melody in Music and Medicine (w/ Dr Lisa Wong)

In this week’s episode, Sue is joined by her friend, Dr Lisa Wong, a pediatrician, musician, teacher and musical education advocate. She explains the fascinating links between how and why playing music makes someone a better physician and how the skills that children learn playing instruments can later be applied to the study and practice of medicine. They also discuss the power of giving people of all ages permission to be curious, creative and experimental and how physicians in America have begun trying alternative treatments, prescribing walking around an art museum or forest or learning an instrument. Dr Wong is leading an incredibly impressive and interesting life. We hope that you enjoy the conversation.
