Dr. Mike Natter identifies as an artist, a patient, a humanist, and a doctor. He is a native of New York City to which he attributes much of his initial creative influence. Growing up blocks away from beacons of culture, such as Lincoln Center and the MoMA, exposed him to the arts early on as a child. A type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at age 9, Mike always felt drawn to the medical field, however, was steered toward the arts, which came more naturally to him. He went on to study studio art and neuropsychology at Skidmore College where he first began to recognize the parallels between art and science and is also where he gained the academic curiosity to realize his dream of becoming a physician. Mike graduated from Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia in 2017, and went on to complete his Internal Medicine Resident at NYU Langone Medical Center and is currently a first year endocrinology fellow at NYU. His goal is to help others who share his disease and infuse art into medical training, education, and practice. His work has been featured in media outlets such as the Philadelphia Inquirer, Annals of Internal Medicine, Medscape, Osmosis Blog, Buzzfeed, among others.
