We're kicking off our Spotlight Series on the NYU School of Medicine with a spotlight on improv and medicine! In this episode, we interviewed Nick Kanellis who taught a "Medical Improv" seminar and his students who shared about their experiences. Listen to learn more about improv games you can play to improv-e your skills with patients. Thanks to Darlina Liu for producing this episode, to our podcast leads, Shiv and Darlina, and the band Night Float for providing our music. This episode was sponsored by the Master Scholars Program in Humanistic Medicine at the NYU School of Medicine as part of our four-episode Spotlight Series featuring: Medicine & Improv, Medicine & Writing, Medicine & Art, and Medicine & Dance. "Our program takes a broad, inclusive approach to medical humanities, with the goal of supporting students' creative and intellectual interests outside the scope of traditional medical education. Many of our students come into medical school with a passion for the humanistic disciplines. Others develop this along the way, after encountering particular experiences or questions over the course of their training and looking to art or history or one of the social sciences to explore them more deeply. Students can do this through one of our mini-courses, like Art & Anatomy or Medical Improv, or through our Rudin Fellowship in Medical Ethics and Humanities, if they have a more targeted research project in mind. Many of our courses actually grow out of student-generated ideas—Medical Improv is a great example. Participants in our program often report that it helps sustain the many dimensions of their identities beyond their interest in biomedicine, and that the freedom of choice (either in selecting seminars or in the Rudin Fellowship, where students design completely individualized projects) is validating and empowering in a context that can often feel very hierarchical. It is imperative that we recognize and support each of our students as a whole person if we want them to develop into the kind of physicians who treat each of their patients as a whole person." – Katie Grogan, Associate Director, MSPHM

Every month, The Sequel Machine recruits 25 writers to write the sequels for film's biggest franchises one page at a time.

This month: 9thmare on Elm Street. Performed by: Adam Bozarth, Dan Chamberlain, Matt Little, Anna Rubanova, Brett White, Jeremy Bent, Kathy Salerno, Nicole Byer, and Laura Willcox See the next Sequel Machine show live: Harry Potter 9 3/4.
