After teaching, writing about, and researching ‘soft’ skills for about 20 years and integrating simple improv activities into trainings for almost as longd, I know how powerful medical improv can be. AND I understand the many challenges healthcare professionals face!

Medical Improv Workshop at Harper College – Jan 25

Experience has taught me that this experiential modality is the most effective, engaging, and fun way to promote the ‘soft’ skills and positive relationships healthcare professionals need to provide safe, compassionate care and enjoy longterm meaningful careers! No small thing, right?

Promoting Medical Improv is Daunting !

Some healthcare professionals are curious to know more, yet reluctant to participate.
Some want to play, yet it is hard to find others to join in.
Some want to network, yet don’t know where to reach out.
Still others want to utilize simple activities, yet don’t know how to facilitate for best learning experiences.
And pretty much everyone is pressed for time!

Nevertheless, the importance of ‘soft’ skills, teamwork, and stress relief are critically needed in healthcare. And Medical Improv can help with all of these as well as our critical outcomes. Consequently, it is imperative to make it more accessible to more people now!

So, let’s try something new!
