Had an absolute blast co-leading with my friend Gretchen Eng @theiotheater.bsky.social workshop on Improv and Healthcare. We did improv exercises and #TheatreoftheOppressed with terrific group that had wonderful mix of experience with improv, health care, and #HealthEquity.

Entire Univ of Chicago first-yr med student class did 2 hours of #TheatreoftheOppressed in small groups as part of the #healthequity course. Med students were amazing. Thoughtful, engaged, reflective. Our prior @journalgim.bsky.social paper on #TheatreoftheOppressed doi: 10.1007/s11606-024-09057-2

Our book Systems that Impact Population Health: Past and Present, has just been published by @apha.org Press. Book discusses how structural racism works through social and health systems to reduce access to opportunity structures and cause health inequities. ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/book/10....
