Board-certified music therapists must engage in continuing education to maintain their CBMT certification, ensuring they stay current with best practices and developments in the field.
Board-certified music therapists are required to recertify with the CBMT every five years, either by completing continuing education credits or by retaking the certification exam.
Attending conferences, volunteering, and publishing articles are all valid activities that can count towards continuing education credits for CBMT recertification.
Board-certified music therapists must earn a minimum of 50 continuing education credits within each five-year recertification cycle to maintain their certification.
Supervision offers music therapists a structured environment to reflect on their practice, receive feedback, and develop their skills, which is an important aspect of professional development.
