Using simulated patients in education about alcohol misuse

J M Eagles et al. Acad Med. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

It is important to educate medical students about alcohol misuse, but this process is hampered by negative attitudes and the unavailability of typical patients. However, simulated patients can describe full longitudinal histories in a characteristically defensive style and can provide direct feedback to student interviewers.
