Abstract

The practice of medicine is unpredictable. To practice compassionate, collaborative medicine, clinicians must constantly think on their feet in order to navigate difficult situations, and care for others while caring for themselves. Dr. Belinda Fu describes her experiences with Medical Improv as a physician, patient, and educator, and explains its power to improve communication skills through Experiential learning.
