At age 15, Dr. Zen-Jay (aka Cheng-Chieh Chuang, MD) found himself living in Argentina, half a world away from his hometown in Taiwan.

In addition to his private practice, Dr. Zen-Jay teaches clinical medicine at Brown Medical School. He directed the cutting-edge course, “Art and Medicine” at Brown, showing students how their own creativity can enrich their personal and professional lives.
