8 of 8 Theme 1: Prevention as Professional Role Identity - Nabeel Zuhdi

Dr. Nabeel Zuhdi’s presentation “Prevention as Professional Role Identity” introduces the ReMAP model, a conceptual framework that redefines professionalism in music through explicit ethical standards and research-informed practice. Zuhdi argues that musicians’ health cannot rely on informal culture or self-imposed norms; instead, it must be grounded in a disciplinary code of ethics that integrates prevention, accountability, and continuous knowledge development. In this model, injury prevention becomes a central focus, with teachers, administrators, and students alike sharing responsibility. The ReMAP model proposes a shift from reactive, individualized responses to injuries toward a proactive, ethical, and evidence-based culture that minimizes harm and fosters sustainability in music education and performance. Through this message, Zuhdi’s vision positions health not as a luxury or afterthought but as a defining element of ethical musicianship and sustainable professional identity.
