March 8, 2019|Internal Medicine
Alex Leow, MD, PhD, is both a psychiatrist and a classical pianist. She joins host Nick Andrews to discuss her work as clinician, medical educator, and researcher, as well as how music is refuge from the daily grind.
There is something intrinsically satisfying about playing piano, says Dr. Leow, associate professor of psychiatry and biomedical engineering at the University of Illinois, Chicago. “When I feel stressed out, oftentimes I find myself retreating back into that piano world.”
