A brief explanation of courses not normally found at music schools and
which should be given at medical or professional schools follows.
_Anatomy for Nurses._ This should consist of a brief survey of the
anatomy of the human body with especial reference to the muscles,
nerves, brain, and a casual introduction to the internal organs.
_History of Medicine._ This would be an orientation course on the
development of medicine and hospitals.
_Physiology._ Especial attention should be drawn to the physiology of
the nervous system and the muscles.
_Psychology._ Normal psychology, including laboratory experimentation
in the psychology of music, would be the basis of this course.
_Kinesiology._ The standard course as taught in schools of physical and
occupational therapy, and physical education, would be sufficient.
_Occupational Therapy._ An introduction into craft analysis and
psychiatric occupational therapy is necessary.
_Abnormal Psychology._ An introduction to psychiatry is sufficient.
_Music in Medicine._ A course of lectures, including the subjects
discussed in this volume, should be offered.
In the summer between the third and fourth years, the student should
be affiliated with a hospital with a music program to work under the
hospital staff.
These are suggestions only, and each school in consultation with an
approved medical college will want to work out its own schedule. It is
hoped that the above outline will be of definite assistance.
