You were introduced to a number of areas/populations with which you will work during your internship at UKHC on the UK HealthCare Music Therapy Internship Fact Sheet. Select one that is of particular interest to you and one that you think will be challenging for you if selected as an intern, and tell us why in the space below.

Video 1 (3 parts) of Part 1: Beverly Smith is 58 years old. She has been referred to music therapy for pain. You have read in her chart that she has a new terminal diagnosis. You walk on to the unit to find Beverly’s nurse. You inform him/her that their patient has an order for music therapy. The nurse says, “I’m new here – what is music therapy?” How do you respond? o Part 2: You enter Mrs. Smith’s room, who is receiving music therapy for the first time. What do you say? o Part 3: Immediately following the session, as you are outside of the room wiping down your guitar, visitors of your patient walk up and exclaim, “were you just playing for Beverly!?” How do you respond?

Video 2: Using an instrument of your choice, accompany yourself singing a song that is meaningful to you.

Video 3 (optional) What would be helpful for us to know as we consider you for the UK HealthCare internship? What do we need to know about you or your application that has not been covered by the application?
