musicoterapia, formación clínica, necesidades, preparación, expectativas, satisfacciónResumen
Objetivo: Este artículo examina las experiencias de los estudiantes de musicoterapia a lo largo de su formación clínica. Tres encuestas preguntaron sobre: 1) la percepción tanto de los pasantes como de los supervisores sobre las necesidades de los pasantes, 2) la preparación de los pasantes, sus habilidades, sus prioridades al elegir una pasantía y si se cumplieron sus expectativas de capacitación (con comparaciones entre estadounidenses y encuestados internacionales) y 3) satisfacción con la formación clínica. Método: Se distribuyeron tres encuestas separadas. Los encuestados de la primera encuesta incluyeron pre-pasantes (n = 19) y supervisores de pasantías (n = 14) que habían completado su capacitación en la Región de los Grandes Lagos de los Estados Unidos. Los encuestados de la segunda encuesta incluyeron pasantes estadounidenses (n = 50), profesionales estadounidenses (n = 353), pasantes internacionales (n = 12) y profesionales internacionales (n = 50). Los encuestados para la tercera encuesta incluyeron musicoterapeutas profesionales que completaron su plan de estudios en los Estados Unidos y tenían la credencial profesional MT-BC (N = 777). Resultados: En la Encuesta 1 se encontraron algunas diferencias entre las percepciones de los pasantes y los supervisores sobre las necesidades de los pasantes; se encontraron diferencias significativas entre la preparación y las fortalezas / debilidades entre los grupos en la Encuesta 2; y la Encuesta 3 encontró satisfacción general con la capacitación en algunas áreas que los encuestados consideraron que se necesitaban mejoras. Conclusiones: Si bien existe una satisfacción general con la formación de los musicoterapeutas, existen inconsistencias en las experiencias y percepciones de los estudiantes sobre su formación.
