Patients may receive individual, group, or family music therapy sessions. Interns receive clinical supervision from board-certified music therapists and other healthcare professionals; observe, co-lead, and lead individual, family, and group sessions; and eventually manage their own schedule and caseload during the leadership portion of the internship.
