Minisode 7: Health Care and Benefits – an Interview with Dr. Blaire Koerner – Season 2, Ep. 7
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. With so many young musicians harboring fears around health care and benefits, hopefully, this episode will provide some tools and ideas for acquiring these important aspects of a career.
