New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NHRMC) is a team-centered, value-focused, teaching provider of quality health care to all in need of its services. NHRMC is a growing medical center that is supportive of the implementation of Music Therapy services in new areas and offers many opportunities to expand services. The entering Music Therapy intern is expected to have the ability to adapt to the medical center's treatment environment. The intern should possess adequate communication skills and have the ability to interact effectively with others. The intern must have an awareness of maintaining a safe and therapeutic patient environment. Knowledge of basic Music Therapy techniques and functional use of voice, and accompaniment instruments such as keyboard, guitar, omnichord, or Orff instruments is essential. Sessions are typically done in the patient's room and occasionally in the Child Life Activity room or an open lounge.
