Season 2, Minisode 7: Health Care and Benefits – an Interview with Dr. Blaire Koerner
For minisode 7, Dr. Koerner discusses health care and benefits for professional musicians. If you are a freelancer, there are plenty of ways to secure health care, life insurance, and other necessary benefits. Health care and benefit packages are also big considerations when negotiating a job offer in a more traditional setting.
