Music Therapy for the Cancer Patient

Share

This course is ideal for music therapists interested in complementing their practice by learning how to provide care in a cancer setting. Participants first complete ten hours of instruction led by Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) senior faculty in the specifics of various cancer diagnoses, including leukemia, lymphoma, breast, prostate, and lung cancers. The second half of the course addresses considerations and best practices to successfully establish therapeutic relationships with patients and caregivers, perform clinical assessments, and provide interactive and receptive musical interventions in the hospital setting.

We provide you with the knowledge and skills to:

  • perform clinical assessments of cancer patients
  • identify appropriate therapeutic interventions based on each patient’s diagnosis, clinical status, age, sex, and ethnicity
  • interpret clinical assessment results and communicate recommendations for continued music therapy interventions to the medical team
