In this article, recent developments in the teaching of diagnostic-interviewing skills in the mental health professions are discussed. First, the tasks and skills of the diagnostic interviewer are analyzed. Second, empirical evidence on effective interviewing styles is outlined. Third, training methods for teaching diagnostic interviewing are reviewed. A training program, developed to teach diagnostic interviewing to undergraduates, is then described. The program is highly structured, and simulated patients are used to introduce complex clinical problems and to evaluate students’ emerging competencies. Student and trainer satisfaction with the program has been high during the past 6 years.

Interactive methods, which are one of the effective training methods used in medical and health professions education enable students to participate actively in the learning process. In this context, simulated patients can be used in simulation applications which are interactive methods. The simulated patient is an educated person to revive and present the real patient scenario and offers a safe learning opportunity based on experience in a virtual or laboratory environment prior to the real patient environment. This application enables to students to increase knowledge and skill level, self-efficacy, motivation and selfconfidence, improves clinical decision making and communication skills. The aim of this study is to review simulated patient applications in medicine and health sciences education and to provide a detailed overview on using simulated patients for both teaching and assessment purposes in medical and healthcare professional education.
