We hold free induction days twice a year for practitioners joining our Directory. The event is a great introduction to Performing Arts Medicine, and the work that BAPAM does, as well as an opportunity to meet colleagues from this fascinating area of health care. Please take a look at the Induction Day Syllabus for more information.
The Performing Arts Medicine MSc at UCL is a new, unique programme providing specialised training to people from a range of clinical and performance science backgrounds in how to treat the specific health needs of instrumental musicians, singers, dancers, actors and other artists.
BAPAM training days are held twice a year on the third Saturdays of May and November, providing in-depth explorations of key areas of performing arts medicine and unique insights into aspects of performers’ health and wellbeing. We present performers' perspectives as well as the expertise of experienced medical practitioners. The approach is multidisciplinary: physiological and psychological, prevention as well as treatment. We know that it is vital to look at the whole performer, not just the presenting problem.
A complete list of topics covered in BAPAM training programmes can be found here in the Outline Training Curriculum.
BAPAM training days may be used as part of your CPD portfolio.
