Music in Medicine

Danielle DeCosmo, a musician-in-residence for Arts in Medicine at UF & Shands, sings to Peggy Drummond, a patient in the bone marrow transplant unit.

The Center for Arts in Medicine, in conjunction with the School of Music, offers this certificate as an opportunity for students to explore the intersections between music and health and professional opportunities for engaging both disciplines. This certificate can serve as a credential for developing post-baccalaureate educational pathways and career options. 

This undergraduate certificate program allows you to explore your interests in creativity and the arts through the lens of health and well-being. In the certificate program, you will have the opportunity to observe and apply the arts in healthcare and/or community contexts. 

This certificate is unique because you will have access to these types of learning experiences: hands-on practical experience with patients and/or community members, exposure to arts in health related fields, the opportunity to develop career readiness skills such as oral and written communication, leadership, collaboration and problem solving. This certificate will allow you to interact with patients and/or community members, arts in health leaders, artists, healthcare professionals, arts administrators and nonprofit organizations.
