Healing Harp interns learn how to play therapeutically for patients in the hospital setting. Interns play in lobbies, waiting rooms, and eventually at the bedside of patients offering comfort, inspiration, and music to enhance the healing process. Education takes place at California Pacific Medical Center and Marin General Hospital.

Core Curriculum
We teach three domains of focus so that your unique healing abilities are fully embodied in patient care.

1) Discipline-Specific Training advances your understanding and proficiency in your specialization while developing a therapeutic presence.

2) Professional Development includes the use of the action/reflection model, goal setting and self care practices.

3) Collaborative Team Approach is the program's "signature" element, giving you a unique opportunity to work within a team of conventional and integrative medicine providers to create treatment plans.

Internship Prerequisites
Applicants must be proficient enough at the harp to play several pieces without sheet music, learn music aurally, and be able to perform. Applicants should also have some experience or training in conventional or integrative medicine.

To Apply
The application process includes submitting a written application and a personal interview. There is a $65 application fee.

Enrollment
The program begins in September, and applications are accepted starting in January. The program requires a 500-hour commitment over a one year period for training and clinical practice. Because students often find the program to be rigorous, the application process favors experienced health professionals or those who want to learn in a supervised clinical setting. Clinical placement is dependent on hospital priority, department need and student requests.

Program Fees
The fee for the program is $2,800, payable in advance of the program. There is a non-refundable deposit of $600 due upon acceptance.
