After Hours: Drums

In this episode, we’ll hear one of our associates at Medical Economics interview Dr. Michael DeGeorgia, a neurologist at University Hospitals of Cleveland and founding director of the Center for Music and Medicine. Dr. DeGeorgia became interested in the drums as a child, but stopped playing while getting his medical education. His passion reignited while organizing medical conferences in the early 2000s, and in 2006 decided to form his own rock and roll band, The Codes, made up entirely of fellow physicians. Dr. DeGeorgia is also intrigued by music’s use as a therapeutic tool for people who have experienced brain injury.
