title: The way ahead: teaching with simulated patients.
abstract: This article is written to try and convince the 'sceptics' that teaching with simulated patients is the way ahead in medical education. It describes in part, the method used in the General Practice Unit at the University of Leicester and attempts to explain how it feels and what it means to be a simulated patient.
