The Core Curriculum for Arts in Health Professionals, published in fall 2021, is a book publication of the National Organization for Arts in Health. This book, written in a dense outline form, serves as a repository of foundational knowledge from dozens of well-established content experts in the field, collected and edited through a multi-year team project. The Core Curriculum was developed to serve as the basis for academic coursework as well as institutional, community, and continuing education training programs.

The purpose of the Core Curriculum for Arts in Health Professionals is to provide artists, arts administrators, and arts consultants a path to professional certification based on their demonstrated command of best practices and their application of the Code of Ethics and Standards for Arts in Health Professionals. The NOAH will be providing more information about professional certification throughout 2022.

The robust Core Curriculum for Arts in Health Professionals was developed by teams of subject matter experts, led by the book’s editors, Ari Albright and, UF CAM faculty, Ferol Carytsas. Countless hours of collaboration have led to a detailed resource that includes chapters on the following:

• History of the Field
