Ep91 | MS4 Perspective: Family Medicine

In this 4th year medical student (MS4) series, we dive into the field of Family Medicine. Our guest, Kendall Frisoli, shares what drew her to this specialty and what keeps her sane through the rigors of medical training.

KENDALL is a musician passionate about connecting to and healing with her audience. Originally from Los Angeles, KENDALL has been training to become a physician in Chicago. She is returning home to California to pursue her Family Medicine Residency journey in July 2022 at Long Beach Memorial. Since childhood, music has kept her centered. It continued to keep her grounded throughout her experiences as a collegiate D1 athlete, LGBTQ woman, and medical student. It is her expressive outlet and treatment of choice. Music is medicine, and KENDALL integrates this artistic tool within her medical practice.

Her music is vulnerable, relatable, and most importantly - real. KENDALL’s songwriting is sparked by human relationships, whether it be with romantic interests, friends, family, patients, or herself.

KENDALL’s first single release, “Slow My Mind Down,” is one of many songs she wrote about a girl. This piece evokes the range of emotions we feel in our relationships. And it is a perfect example of how KENDALL’s mind can race from 0 to 100 after experiencing a meaningful connection. She hopes it hits people in all of the tender places - because those are the best places - and brings humans closer to our common ground.
