Dr. Barry Kerzin, MD, personal physician to the Dalai Lama toured MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando on Monday, as part of a visit to the Central Florida area.

Dr. Kerzin is a Western-trained physician who, through an unusal path, became a Buddhist monk and now embodies the union of Eastern and Western traditions of healing.

On his tour of MD Anderson Orlando he met with patients and employees and shared his take on the practice of medicine and his experiences working with the Dalai Lama. Dr. Kerzin found his way to India 20 years ago. He continues to practice medicine and moves fluidly between the Western and Eastern traditions.
