Fun fact #7 今日嚟到介紹香港常見 #註冊音樂治療師 #海外認證 #專業資格 嘅最後一個 - #加拿大 啦。 #加拿大註冊音樂治療師 嘅專業資格叫 Music Therapist Accredited, 英文縮寫為 #MTA。呢個專業資格係由 #加拿大音樂治療師協會 Canadian Association of Music Therapists (#CAMT)發出 。同 #美國 相類似,要喺加拿大成為註冊音樂治療師除咗要起碼完成認可嘅 #音樂治療學士 或以上課程外,仲要: 1) 成功完成起碼1000小時嘅 #總實習時數。 然後經過CAMT 嚴格審批先可以註冊成為MTA。 以上係加拿大合資格音樂治療師喺2014年之前嘅註冊方法,而呢個制度喺2014年中有個重大嘅改變。 喺2014年9月,CAMT喺註冊條件上加多咗重要嘅一項:合資格嘅治療師除咗要成功完成起碼1000小時嘅總實習時數外,仲要通過 #美國音樂治療師認證委員會 的 #音樂治療認證考試 (Certification Board Exam)先可以向CAMT註冊而取得MTA專業資格。呢個名/呢個試好似似曾相識咁?冇錯,佢就係funfact #6 裡面講到喺美國另一個獨立嘅 #音樂治療監管機構,負責 #美國音樂治療師 嘅音樂治療認證考試同發出專業資格 MT-BC嘅美國音樂治療師認證委員會 Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT) 。亦即係話,喺2014年9月後成為加拿大合資格嘅治療師要首先要通過 CBMT 嘅考試成為MT-BC, 先可以向CAMT 註冊成為MTA, 而呢啲音樂治療師喺第一年執業嘅時候係會同時擁有兩個國家嘅音樂治療專業資格 (MT-BC, MTA) 。 There's one more music therapy professional credentials that is commonly seen in Hong Kong which we have not introduced yet...here we go Canada! Credentialed music therapists from Canada are called Music Therapist Accredited, abbreviated as #MTA. The music therapy organization that grants eligible therapists their credentials is the Canadian Association of Music Therapists(#CAMT). Similar to the US, in order to be an MTA, one has to: 1) Successfully complete a total of no less than 1000 clinical training hours. Then one would submit their application to CAMT to apply for professional status MTA. But that was the application process before 2014. In mid 2014, the process has undergone a drastic change. In September 2014, CAMT added another criteria in their MTA application process: After successful completion of the required clinical internship, one has to also successfully passing the certification board exam by the Certification Board for Music Therapists (#CBMT) in order to apply for the MTA status. Yes you read it right, it is the same certification board exam that we mentioned in #funfact 6, the exam that US music therapists have to pass in order to get their professional credentials MT-BC. That also means, since September 2014, eligible music therapists in Canada have to pass the CBMT exam for the MT-BC credential before they can apply for their MTA. Under the new application process, all newly certified MTA would be dually credentialed with both MTA and MT-BC in their first year of practice. #icathk #icathk5週年 #musictherapy #musictherapyfunfacts #音樂治療 #香港創意藝術治療中心

Fun fact #6 之前介紹過兩個 #註冊音樂治療師 嘅 #海外認證 #專業資格 ,今日就介紹下 #音樂治療 #發源地 - #美國嘅專業資格啦。 美國係現時全世界擁有最多 #合資格 #音樂治療學位課程 嘅國家,總共有80多個,而每一個課程嘅成立同發展都係根據 #美國大專音樂學校協會 National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) 守則,由美國兩個 #音樂治療專業機構 嘅其中一個監管嘅:#美國音樂治療協會 American Music therapy Association (#AMTA)。 #美國註冊音樂治療師 嘅專業資格叫 Music Therapist Board Certified, 英文縮寫為 MT-BC。呢個專業資格由美國另一個獨立嘅 #音樂治療監管機構 #美國音樂治療師認證委員會 Certification Board for Music Therapists (#CBMT)發出 。要喺美國成為註冊音樂治療師除咗要起碼完成認可嘅 #音樂治療學士 或以上課程外,仲要: 1)喺在學時音樂治療科目成績平均等級為C-或以上(才符合資格開始臨床實習 - 詳情請看#2); 2)成功完成起碼1200小時嘅 #總實習時數,當中不少於180小時為 #在學實習 (#Practicum)及不少於900小時為 #臨床實習 (#Internship);及 3)通過美國音樂治療師認證委員會的 #音樂治療認證考試 (Certification Board Exam)。 成功「過三關」之後就可以成為MT-BC美國註冊音樂治療師啦。要維持MT-BC呢個專業資格,註冊音樂治療師要每5年參加不少於100小時嘅 #總持續進修時數 先至可以續牌嘅。 因為美國音樂治療歷史咁悠久,佢哋專業資格嘅「樣式」都經過幾個階段嘅演變。喺MT-BC出現之前,美國註冊音樂治療師嘅專業資格分別有RMT, CMT同ACMT。 不過呢啲喺MT-BC出現之前嘅專業資格將會喺2019年12月31日到期,即係如果持有呢啲專業資格嘅治療師喺限期前唔能夠向CBMT重新註冊成為MT-BC,佢哋就唔能夠自稱為美國註冊音樂治療師架啦 (AMTA merger agreement, 1998)。 Let's talk about the music therapy credentials from the US, where music therapy originated! Currently having the most qualified music therapy degree programs in the world, the United States is the host for 80+ music therapy degree programs, from bachelors to doctoral level. All of these music therapy programs are designed according to the curriculum guidelines of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), and accredited by the American Music Therapy Association, Inc. (#AMTA). Credentialed music therapists from the US are called Music Therapist Board Certified, abbreviated as MT-BC. The independent music therapy organization that grants eligible therapist their credentials is the Certification Board for Music Therapists (#CBMT). In order to be an MT-BC, one has to: 1) achieve an average C- for all music therapy core courses in the degree program (to be eligible for an internship - see point #2); 2) successfully complete a total of no less than 1200 clinical training hours, with no less than 180 practicum hours and no less than 900 internship hours; and 3) successfully passing the certification board exam by the CBMT. In order to maintain one's MT-BC status, one has to participate in continue education and submit 100 recertification credits every 5 years to recertify with CBMT. Because of the long history of music therapy in the US, there has been a transformation of credentials: RMT, CMT and ACMT were used before the existence of MT-BC. However, under the #AMTA merger agreement in 1998, the professional credentials issued before MT-BC, which is currently maintained under the National Music Therapy Registry (NMTR), will be expired by December 31, 2019. One will not be able to name oneself US-credentialed music therapist if one does not go through the process to get certified with CBMT before the date. #icathk #icathk5週年 #musictherapy #musictherapyfunfacts #音樂治療 #香港創意藝術治療中心 [ICAT 5週年 之 #音樂治療資訊站 ]
Fun fact #5 上次介紹咗香港最多 #註冊音樂治療師 嘅 #海外認證 #專業資格 ,今日就介紹另外一個喺香港常見嘅#音樂治療 #專業資格 啦。 香港嘅註冊音樂治療師第二多係註冊自 #英國。喺英國,#音樂治療師 係歸納為 #藝術治療師 (Arts Therapists),當中包括音樂治療、#藝術治療 及 #戲劇治療 三種 #專職治療,因此並沒有一個專門機構只負責音樂治療嘅專業註册資格。英國所有藝術治療師及醫護人員都係經同一個政府部門註冊嘅:#英國國家醫療專業人員協會 Health and Care Professions Council (#HCPC), 而透過HCPC註冊嘅治療師就叫 HCPC-Registered Therapist. 雖然英國音樂治療師與其他藝術治療師均屬同一個專業註册團體,但係佢哋係有一個專業協會嘅:#英國音樂治療協會 British Association for Music Therapy (#BAMT), 會定期舉行學術研討會同持續進修活動俾會員同各界人士參加。而每一位音樂治療師都持有碩士學位同埋要通過專業考核先可以註册。 In the #UK, where second most Hong Kong music therapists are registered from, music therapists are grouped under "arts therapists", that they do not carry separate credentials. All arts therapists in the UK are registered through a governmental organization called the Health and Care Professions Council (#HCPC), and therapists registered through HCPC are called HPCP-Registered Therapist. Even music therapists registered through HCPC do not carry a separate credential, they have their own association, the British Association for Music Therapy (#BAMT), which regularly organizes conferences and continue education events for its members. #icathk #icathk5週年 #musictherapy #musictherapyfunfacts #音樂治療 #香港創意藝術治療中心 [ICAT 5週年 之 #音樂治療資訊站 ]
Fun fact #4 之前講過 #音樂治療師 係 #專業人士,唔知大家識唔識睇我哋嘅 #專業資格 呢?如果大家有留意到,香港嘅 #註冊音樂治療師 嘅專業資格都係 #海外認證 嘅資格嚟嘅。 因為 #音樂治療 呢個專業暫時未有一個世界性認可嘅專業資格名稱,所以每個國家嘅註冊專業資格個名都唔一樣架。以下就逐一為大家介紹一下喺香港常見嘅音樂治療師專業資格啦。 香港嘅註冊音樂治療師最多係註冊自 #澳洲。佢哋嘅音樂治療師專業資格叫 Registered Music Therapist, 英文縮寫為 #RMT. 喺澳洲給予音樂治療師專業資格嘅機構係 #澳洲音樂治療協會 Australian Music Therapy Association (#AMTA). As mentioned before, music therapists are #professionals, and we carry #credentials behind our name to indicate that we are credentialed through our respective associations. We normally use #abbreviations for those credentials - do you know what those abbreviations means? Since there is no universal credentials in the profession of music therapy, credentials earned from different countries look very differently. In #Australia, where most Hong Kong music therapists are credentialed from, credentialed music therapists are called Registered Music Therapist, abbreviated as #RMT. The organization that grant eligible members their credentials is the Australian Music Therapy Association (#AMTA). #icathk #icathk5週年 #musictherapy #musictherapyfunfacts #音樂治療 #香港創意藝術治療中心 [ICAT 5週年 之 #音樂治療資訊站]
Fun fact #3 #音樂治療師 同好多 #專業人士 一樣,都需要參加 #持續進修 ,累積既定嘅 #持續進修時數 先可以向所屬嘅 #海外註冊協會 續牌,繼續以音樂治療師嘅身份工作架。 香港嘅 #註冊音樂治療師 分別係註冊自 #英國, #美國, #澳洲,及 #加拿大 嘅音樂治療師協會。以上協會均需要會員每2-5年憑持續進修時數續牌。 It is a therapist's responsibility to participate in continue education to keep current with best practice in the field. Music therapists are required by their respective associations to participate in continue education in order to keep their music therapist credentials. In Hong Kong, credentialed music therapists are members of the music therapy associations in UK, US, Australia and Canada respectively. All of these associations require their members to submit their continue education evidence every 2-5 years in order to keep their membership and credentials. #icathk #icathk5週年 #musictherapy #musictherapyfunfacts #音樂治療 #香港創意藝術治療中心 |
