Why Am I Asking?
Two reasons. First, as one of the pioneers, I’ve been researching, teaching, and writing about related topics in healthcare for almost two decades! I get sporadic inquiries from all over the world yet don’t really have a clear sense of what’s going on out there! want to learn more about what others are doing, curious about, and ready for. In this vein, I’m also inviting a community of shared experience!
The second reason I’m curious about your experience is because it might help to promote a new program called “Medical Improv ’30’: WPNT” designed to meet a continuum of interests.
Join initial launch Friday!

- Contribute to collaborative bridge-building efforts in healthcare.
I hope you’ll consider joining us! I’m excited to see how it goes and in leading the event, will likely learn a lot! 🙂 Such is improv!
Side Note: Memory Lane
My first foray into combining improv with teaching communication was a Public Health forum at New York University in 2011 where I taught, (and learned) how powerful an activity called “Overload” could be.
Later a few brave nurses and students agreed to help bring some valuable points home in a workshop and resulting Youtube: Interruption Awareness!
(This is dated yet still makes vital points!)
