A clinical instructor of family medicine, Chuang spends six months a year as a traveling physician in medically underserved regions of the nation. The rest of the time he creates colorful oversized watercolors, like the one at left. Most of his themes result from his travels. At the moment, Chuang works at health centers in Central Falls and Pawtucket. In mid-February, Chuang will begin a stint as a physician at a family clinic northwest of Salt Lake City.
Painting can be serene but too solitary at times.
Medicine has much more human interactions. There are very nice stories associated with the people I meet. But sometimes in medicine, you can only use so much creativity. You cannot be as creative as you can in painting. For me, both complement and supplement each other.
