Improv for healthcare applies improvisation training to medical and caregiving contexts. Programs train clinicians in patient communication, empathic listening, delivering difficult news, interdisciplinary teamwork, and coping with the unpredictability of clinical practice. Medical schools and nursing programs increasingly incorporate improv-based curricula.
