Event Overview
Improv comedy is a form of theater that trains our brains to listen, react, and respond in the moment. The practice of improvisation strengthens the often neglected soft skills of listening, communication, empathy, and teamwork. ImprovRx is "Evidence Based Improvisation" developed specifically to help healthcare providers be more adaptable, empathetic, and humanizing in their interactions with patients and their fellow providers. Improv creates  more engaging, caring, and thoughtful humans and with ImprovRx, it has been adapted specifically to healthcare providers.

 

Event Speakers:  

Cory Jenks - Cory Jenks is a pharmacist, author, comedian, and speaker. He specializes in helping healthcare professionals create an adaptable  humanizing experience. Cory applies “evidence based improvisation” to help healthcare providers learn to be adaptable, empathetic, and to create the humanizing healthcare experience they and their patients deserve. He teaches healthcare workers how to ditch their outer “healthcare robot” shell  and become humanizing healthcare providers. In 2013, Cory stepped into his first improv class and the two simple words he learned that day would change everything for him: “Yes, and.” These two words are the foundation for improvisational comedy, “Yes, and” means agreeing and building  together, and since learning those powerful words (amongst many other improv skills and lessons), Corey has gone on to teach, coach and perform  improv in front of thousands of people.
