Stephanie Mayer Sattin’s presentation at the Global Summit on Occupational Health in Music makes a powerful case for music education faculty and institutions to recognize occupational health as a core competency, safeguarding both teacher and student well-being. By embedding the biopsychosocial framework, total worker health principles, and a developmental perspective into teacher training, the next generation of educators will be ready not just to teach music but to build inclusive, healthy, and safe classrooms. The message is clear: health and preventive care, including minimizing harm, must become as fundamental to music education as musical skill.
