Abstract

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a key skill for supporting behavioural change during client consultations and
is of crucial importance across all health professions to address the growing burden of chronic conditions, but it is challenging to learn and maintain fidelity. There is a growing trend towards using virtual patients to educate health professionals in various clinical skills. Virtual patients (VPs) allow learners to engage with simulated patients, providing a safe environment in which to practice their skills. There are various approaches to the development of and engagement with VPs. It is important that VP development incorporates input from health professionals and educators to ensure the integration of VPs with cultures that support learning.
