Wellness Through the Lens of a Medical Orchestra
1Director of orchestral activities in music and medicine at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Abstract:
Stress and burnout afflict medical students and professionals at alarming rates, which has led institutions to invest in counseling services and other traditional wellness programming. However, the stigma of utilizing these services permeates the medical community. This narrative explores the founding of the Nebraska Medical Orchestra-an orchestra created as a nontraditional antidote to reduce stress and burnout among health care students and professionals-and also examines the concept of wellness through interactions between the orchestra's director and health care-related musicians.
