Songs for Patients during COVID
We are super happy over at Arts & Meds to have produced two amazing amazing songs by our lovely team. We normally would be going bedside to bedside bringing song and joy to patients, however with the current state, we hope this can bring some of the same joy.
We hope you can enjoy as well as patients!

COVID update!
We at Arts and Medicine has been up to a lot in the past few months! After a new leadership and board change with our M2s heading to dedicated, we saw the new team, headed by Naveen Gupta and Lena Deb, begin the year off with a bang. Namely we were able to continue the traditions of Wine and Paint nights and also Hippocrates café. Unfortunately, they have had to put a hold on a few of their new initiatives such as a Battle of the Bands Bar night, improv workshops, and dance workshops.
However, where the innovation and commitment of the team has come in has been through our COVID initiatives. Arts & Meds is dedicated to continuing our goal of providing an outlet for students to maintain extracurricular artistic passions, while also promoting wellness and joy. Student talent will not stop being showcased!
We have been hard at work and have implemented a few new initiatives. We created a fun social media challenge in which students submit a homemade meme/vine/tiktok, and the one with the most likes wins a $30 amazon gift card. We have started a Writer’s Guild where students can flex their literary muscles and stay connected, while learning amazing skills about a variety of different literary modalities. (if you are an interested student or faculty please email Naveen at ng632@georgetown.edu). We also continued our wine and paint night on zoom and will be doing a Hippocrates café this coming May 13 @ 12:00 EST!
Lastly, our amazing hospital visits hope to continue… virtually! Arts&Meds is recording a few songs in which we plan to send to patient life at GUH.
We are very proud of our team, and are committed to connecting Georgetown Medical School students with the arts.
Arts and Meds
What Makes You Tick
This year’s What Makes You asked students, “What Makes You Tick?” and invited students to share what keep them going during some of the more challenging times in medical school. We enjoyed musical pieces, spoken word, and even heard a duet from GUSOM’s own Dean Mitchell and Nellie Darling (M2021) with accompaniment by Mike Ramirez (M2021)!
Wine&Paint Nights Offer Students Time to Relax and Unwind
Healing Through the Arts hosted another successful wine and paint night and had the largest attendance to date! Students had the option to paint on their own or follow instruction from our in-house expert painter.
SCOPE 2019 has arrived!
SCOPE 2019 was released the past week and we could not be more proud of the student art featured in this year’s edition of SCOPE. Special shoutout to the editors of this year’s SCOPE, Nellie, Erin, and Michael, who despite a new and accelerated curriculum, were still able to create the incredibly beautiful SCOPE Vol. 3! Thank you to the Dean Mitchell and the GUSOM Parents Council for helping make SCOPE Vol. 3 a reality, and to all the student performers who made the release party and entertaining night!

Music&Medicine continues to bring smiles to GUH
Arts&Medicine members from all four years got together this weekend for a Music&Medicine trip. So many participated that we had to divide into two groups with half going to the pediatric floors and half to adult floors! A first for Music&Medicine. Thank you to all who came out and for bringing to many smiles to the patients’ faces!
Scope 2018 is here!!!
Thank you to all who came to the unveiling of Scope Vol. 2! We had a wonderful night of music (thank you Tad Umali!), art, and French food & wine! Thank you to everyone who supported our continued dream making Scope a reality: Dean Kassar, Dean Mitchell, Julia Langley, Mike Matteson, Nigel Gwini, Kathy Yates & the whole DigiLinks crew, the Department of Student Affairs, Dr. Wellbery & the Department of Family Medicine, and the Student Executive Council.

What Makes You...More Than Medicine
This year’s What Makes You… focused around the theme More than Medicine, and highlighted exactly what it is that makes each of us here at GUSOM so much more than medical students, physicians, and scientists. Be it through dance, music, spoken word, or other art form, students and faculty took to the stage to showcase their unique experiences and talents. We also had a photo exhibit on display to showcase a wider variety of these talents. Thank you to all who performed and attended! You can read more about the event here and find more photos from the event on our Facebook.
Brett Will (M2021), Kellie Wo (M2021), and Callie Takahashi (M2020) perform hula to He Mele No Lilo.
