MTV's Dr. Drew Pinsky speaks at RIT Feb. 7

The doctor is in--in RIT's Clark Gymnasium, that is. Dr. Drew Pinsky, the popular co-host of MTV's hit show, Loveline, shares his thoughts on love, life and sexuality at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 7, as the first installment in the 1999 - 2000 Horton Distinguished Speaker Series, sponsored by Student Government.

Fifteen years ago, during his fourth year in medical school at University of Southern California School of Medicine, Dr. Drew began his second career in late-night radio when he volunteered to co-host a Los Angeles radio show, which eventually morphed into MTV's Loveline. In addition to giving sound medical advice on the show, Pinsky runs his own Web site, drDrew.com, a comprehensive health and lifestyle site designed for people ages 14 to 34.

A board-certified internist and addictionologist, Pinsky is the medical director for the department of chemical dependency services at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena and the chief of service in the department of medicine. He also runs a private clinical medicine practice.

Tickets--$3 for RIT students, $5 for faculty/staff/ alumni and $7 for the public--are for sale at the Student Alumni Union candy counter.
