Dr. Mike Natter is a native of New York City.  Mike grew up on the Upper West Side in Manhattan and was surrounded by all things cultural, which he ascribes his initial creative influences to. Though Mike is dedicated to the medical field, he has always been drawn to that creative world.  He studied both studio art as well as neuropsychology at Skidmore College. It was there where he began to recognize overlapping themes between art and science. Mike continued his medical career and graduated from Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Philadelphia and is currently an Endocrinology fellow in New York City. Diagnosed as a Type I Diabetic at the age of 9, Mike also has the unique perspective of both patient and physician and has dedicated his training to the care of those who share his disease. But when he's not running around the hospital, his tools switch from stethoscope to stencil. Mike is an accomplished illustrator and artist.  His work has been featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer Newspaper as well as the Annals of Internal Medicine, amongst other publications. Mike continues to draw and publish. He shares his work on social media, reaching a vast audience- both medical and non.  Listen in as we flip through Mike's sketchbook with him.
