In this episode, my guest is Amy Hensley. 


Amy, co-creator of Sips and Wishes, introduces an approach to accessible medical education through relaxed and interactive gatherings held in homes. 


Amy's connection with her best friend, Erin, who specialized in teaching nursing students about death and dying, prompted her to recognize the importance of including this topic in medical education. 


Unlike her own nursing school experience, Erin's curriculum focused on fostering comfort around death, a crucial aspect of nursing. 


Sips and Wishes events embody a relaxed environment where attendees engage in conversations about medical topics. The concept involves enjoying beverages and snacks while delving into interactive presentations. 


Amy highlights that individual perspectives on life and death vary, and Sips and Wishes aim is to provide information to help attendees make informed decisions based on their unique views.


The focus is on informed choices, which stem from understanding medical options. By encouraging conversations and understanding, Sips and Wishes empowers individuals to make decisions aligned with their values and aspirations. 


Through this innovative platform, Amy strives to bridge the gap between medical knowledge and public awareness, ultimately fostering a more informed society.
