All You Need Is Music: Supporting Medical Students' Emotional Development With a Music-Based Pedagogy.

Problem: Although the practice of medicine is often emotionally challenging, medical curricula seldom systematically address the emotional development of medical students.

The authors believe that the metaphoric nature of music offers an efficient venue for exploring emotion perception, expression, and regulation.
