Many people love music because it can calm the mind and soothe the soul.  What many healthcare professionals don't realize is that music can be used as a tool alongside traditional western medicine to promote growth, facilitate healing, and significantly improve the quality of life for many patients.  Join Music in Medicine SIG for an evening with Jenny Kaufman, MT-BC, NMT, who works as part of the music therapy program at Riley Children's Hospital.  Come learn about the principles of music therapy, ways it can be practiced, and how it can help our future patients!
