Improvisation has been shown to improve communication capacities, teamwork, tolerance of uncertainty, attentive observation, empathy, well-being, and creativity – skills and values that are important to cultivate in learners across all fields of medicine.  In this workshop, the tenets of improv will be explored and applied interactively, so that participants can experience some ‘unscripting’ and reflect how improv techniques can be effectively brought into the clinical and teaching spaces.
