Music in Medicine
MUS-N 532/ 3 Cr.
The focus of this course is the evidence-based application of music in medical settings to facilitate symptom relief and improve the illness experience. During this course, students will critique the scientific, theoretical, and empirical basis for music interventions. Experiences include assessments and identification of non-disease based etiologies contributing to symptoms, and the design, implementation and evaluation of music-based interventions to facilitate symptom reduction or improved coping, and inter-professional learning. Work will focus on clinical decision making, and examining the congruency between anecdotal reports and empirical evidence to influence therapeutic outcomes.
