Abstract
The involvement of simulators for training health professionals to imp rove their interactive skills appears to be successful. They allow hea lth professionals to practice in a relatively safe environment and to have useful feedback based on a positive approach and constructive sug gestion. The simulators appear to find the experience very rewarding. The costs are small and can be built into course fees.
