Recruiting enough simulated patients for teaching communication skills to large numbers of students is difficult. We solved this problem with the help of volunteers at Osaka University Hospital. Of the Sixty-seven volunteers who now provide services to patients, 21 applied to become simulated patients. In two practical training sessions, all tudents played the role of doctors. Afterwards, 98% of students felt that such practical training in communication skills was necessary and meaningful. The volunteers felt that playing the role of a patient was a good experience. We found that simulated patients for practical training of students in communication skills can be recruited from among hospital volunteers.
