Patrick Whelan
Lecturer in Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School
Pediatric Rheumatologist, Massachusetts General Hospital
I am a pediatric arthritis specialist affiliated with MGH, and also serve on the faculty at UCLA and USC in Los Angeles. I teach a course through Harvard Extension entitled, "Music and the Mind," about the evolutionary origins of the human music sense. I have an interest in Catholic bioethics, and led the music at one time for a mass at the Harvard Catholic Center. I have a great enthusiasm for the Lowell House Opera, and also have an ongoing involvement with my college singing group, the world-famous Din&Tonics -- and the Glee Club and University Choir. This is my 25th year as a Lowell House pre-med tutor.
