Outpatient Music Therapy Program
Achieving Therapeutic Outcomes through Music.
Music Therapy is an established health service that uses music therapeutically to address physical, psychological, cognitive and/or social functioning for people of all ages. It is practiced by a credentialed professional that uses clinical and evidence-based music interventions to help set and achieve individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship. Because Music Therapy is a powerful and non-invasive medium, unique outcomes are possible. Music Therapy is used successfully in a variety of healthcare and educational settings.
Mount Desert Island Hospital’s Medical Education Program welcomes Music Therapy Interns to the Kogod Center for Medical Education each year and supports a successful program at Birch Bay Retirement Village.
