Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to construct an education system of the medical communication using simulated patients necessary for the community based dental care.
First, we modeled communication between patients and dental staffs from a　 intercultural point of view. Then, using that model, we created scenarios of patients and families with diverse cultural backgrounds and train simulated patients to play them. And we also constructed a simulation education system using these educational resources.
