Collaboration is a core component of a patient-centered medical home. Medical improvisation teaches the arts of communication, empathy, and teamwork, helping medical students navigate challenges in the exam room and better coordinate with the medical care team.

Dr. Ebarb received his training in medical improv from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He has since led workshops on the subject for the Wisconsin and New York State Academy Chapters of the AAFP. He has also conducted medical improv classes at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra University.
