Collaborative Musicians' Health Advocacy Initiative
Oxford Handbook of Musicians' Health Advocacy Project
Stand Alone Position Papers
This group's discussion will converge around the challenge of:
1. Patient-centered clinical outcome assessment for collegiate musicians
2. Competencies necessary in health care practitioners for treating musicians
These stand alone position papers are a part of the larger Oxford Handbook of Musician Health Advocacy project and will guide the direction of relevant chapters in the handbook (Judy Palac, Kris Chesky, Bridget Rennie-Salonen, and Sarah Hoover, Eds)
Purpose:
1. To define a blue print for action to increase patient-centricity in standardized clinical outcome assessment for collegiate musicians with playing related musculoskeletal disorders
2. To define a blue print for action to determine and facilitate acquisition of competencies in health care professionals treating musicians with playing related disorders
The convergence activities for this group will be lead by Serap Bastepe-Gray, MD, MM, MS
Projected timeline includes two online meetings prior to PAMA London (July 17-22, 2024) and work towards two position paper output for 2025 PAMA in Washington, DC.
