Job description

Music Therapist

We are looking for an experienced board-certified music therapist to serve on an interdisciplinary clinical research team in the inpatient/acute hospital setting at Boston Medical Center. Our research program is focused on the prevention and treatment of hospital-acquired delirium in older adults. The primary patient focus will be on patients with neurological conditions, specifically Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. The music therapist will be helping design intervention protocols and administering music therapy sessions to hospitalized patients with neurological disorders.

Job Responsibilities
  • Work collaboratively with neurologists, physicians from other specialties, nurses and other hospital healthcare workers, patients and their families, and medical student and neurology residents in this research program.
  • Demonstrate knowledge in various diagnoses related to neurological disease.
  • Demonstrate knowledge in various clinical presentations resulting from a neurologic injury or disease (i.e. aphasia, neglect, gait deficits, cognitive impairment and behavioral disturbances).
  • Contribute to the development of a targeted intervention for hospital-acquired delirium in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. This intervention is being developed in coordination with other consulting music therapists at other study sites, and the Boston Medical Center MT will join this dynamic team.
  • Deliver MT sessions to hospitalized patients. These sessions will be personalized and culturally sensitive in our diverse patient population. It will be critical to adjust approaches based on in-the-moment responses and to adapt music therapy interventions to suit the patient's unique needs and abilities.
  • Plan, evaluate, and document MT sessions based on various theory of music and mechanism-focused frameworks.
  • Strategize with the research team in order to identify and troubleshoot barriers to the music therapy delivery and related research protocols.
Job Requirements

Education:

  • Bachelor of Science or higher - Music Therapy from an accredited program (Master's level preferred)

Certificates, Licenses, Registrations Required:

  • MT-BC license (Board Certified)

Experience:

  • At least 3 years of experience in neurologic music therapy or music therapy in older adults

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (KSA):

  • Knowledge about theoretical frameworks for neurologic music therapy.
  • Experienced in working with older adults with cognitive impairment and dementia. The individual must be comfortable in the context of a patient with delirium, including behavioral disturbances and agitation, and must be willing and able to adapt the music therapy intervention to patients experiencing these challenges.
  • Able to work independently as well as contribute to the overall success of the team.
  • Flexibility in a fast-paced environment, and excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Compensation Range: $30.05- $43.75
