Skills for Educators Workshop: Medical Improv

This highly interactive (and fun!) workshop will focus on Medical Improv which is the adaptation of improvisational theatre principles and exercises to health professions educational activities.  It has been used to enable providers to connect with patients more easily and deeply, help teams work more collaboratively and cohesively, and give educators confidence to respond creatively to a wide variety of student needs.

Objectives:

  • Describe the principles, tools, skills, and mindsets of improvisation theatre in non-theatrical settings.
  • Apply medical improv principles and exercises in health professions education.
  • Evaluate micro-communication skills and tenets for teachers-learners, clinician-patients and healthcare teams via improvisation exercises.
