IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 531: Substantial Increases in Healthcare Students & rsquo; State Empathy Scores Owing to Participation in a Single Improvisation Session

Conclusions: These findings show that a single one- or two-hour improv session can foster substantial increases in healthcare professional students’ state empathy for one another. Greater healthcare professional empathy and compassion foster better healthcare team cooperation and patient outcomes, so healthcare professionals and their students should engage in such empathy-enhancing activities at regular intervals throughout their training and careers.
