Abstrakt
The poster presents the long term experience of the author with teaching music therapy for students of medicine at the 1st Faculty of Medicine at Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague. The lectures are given in the 5th year of studies and they are a part of a one-week internship at the Department of Rehabilitation.
With regard to the fact that this is a unique opportunity to acquaint future medical doctors with the field of music therapy, the lectures introduce the subject with the focus on its application in rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation. The lectures include following specific patients with ABI in the music therapy process.
Based on the feedback of graduates and practising medical doctors, the lectures contribute to a substantial shift in the perception of music therapy by professional medical staff.
