Improvisation in the exam room #shorts

“What improvisational technique can I use in the exam room to help me become a better physician communicator?”

The primary principle of “yes, and.” If you stick with that, that means, “Yes, you're gonna validate the person first.” It's a listening skill, but whatever somebody says to you in the exam room, if you just validate them as a separate experience, that can be extremely transformational.

Beth Boynton is a nurse and consultant.
