    Abstract:
    Communication skills training at the Medical School of Copenhagen University aims to teach students basic skills in both interviewing and giving information. The article describes a method whereby the students follow a general communication skills model for giving information. The training is conducted with simulated patients (actors). It begins with providing information about simple diagnostic or operative procedures and routine tests. These skills are also practiced in clinical courses on real patients, under supervision. Later on, the students are trained in breaking bad news, but with simulated patients only.
