Dr. Benjamin Schwartz has had an interesting professional journey.  After graduating from med school, Dr. Schwartz realized that his true passion was in the arts and decided to pursue a career in drawing and cartooning. This pivot paid off as he is now a full time cartoonist for the New Yorker. In addition to being a cartoonist, Benjamin is a lecturer at Columbia University’s narrative medicine program, as well as the social media content producer for the medical school’s Department of Surgery. Join us as we reflect on Benjamin’s nontraditional course and how he blends his two worlds together.
