From turning study notes into song lyrics to focusing in the OR, healthcare professionals are tapping into the power of music to make themselves better at everything.
Do those words sound familiar? That’s because they’re the lyrics to Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” slightly tweaked to function as a medical study tool.Early in med school, J.C. Sue, DO, now a family medicine physician, refashioned the song’s words to help him prepare for a test on acid extruders and loaders. Sue’s version, “All About That Base,” contained his lecture notes. During the exam, he found himself mentally singing his parody and easily recalling the information.
That’s when he saw visible results: As his students took exams, Emdin noticed them nodding and moving their mouths and heads.“They were literally performing the songs they’d written for themselves,” Emdin said. “When you write a song to a beat, it’s almost like your heartbeat. You know it so well; you can conjure up your memories by reciting the lyrics.”
Regardless of genre, music helped the surgical teams focus and feel less tense, the surgeons reported. But when training younger doctors, managing complications, or performing during critical points in surgery, many said they’d lower the volume.
