This was an unusual and fun class experience and I enjoyed watching my classmates acting. At the same time, this was an excellent opportunity to practise breaking bad news to patients and their families with the right tone and body language.

I enjoyed the performance part of the workshop. I felt like it brought out my creativity and allowed me to understand other people’s feelings and communicate with others.
