About

 

MEDleys is an organization dedicated to bringing joy and healing through musical performances to patients in clinics as well as the underserved of our local communities.  First established as a student group at UCLA, MEDleys has since expanded to now include active chapters at the National Institutes of Health, the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the UCI School of Medicine.  All members are united by a passion for music and strong enthusiasm for serving the community!

 

Mission

To alleviate stress and anxiety associated with the hospital environment for patients and their family.

 

To explore music as a therapy for medical illnesses since growing scientific evidence supports the fact that music confers health benefits.

 

To brighten the overall atmosphere of clinics and improve psychiatric health of not only patients, but hospital staff.

 

To provide a creative outlet for UCI medical students.
