Hey everyone, I hope you are having a great week so far and it’s Fri-yay! I’m actually at the Healers in Healthcare Conference this weekend but I wanted to make sure to publish and share this week’s episode of the podcast with you all. They say laughter is the best medicine and we get into all that with Cory Jenks. He earned his doctor of pharmacy degree from the University of South Carolina in 2011. Since then, he has practiced as a retail pharmacist, outpatient clinical pharmacist, and inpatient clinical pharmacist. He currently is a practicing clinical pharmacist—and improv comedian. Cory travels the country teaching healthcare professionals how to apply the valuable skills of improv comedy to create a more adaptable, empathetic, and humanizing healthcare experience for both patients and providers. Cory lives in Tucson, Arizona, with his wife, Cassie, their two children, and ten chickens.
