The purpose of this paper is to present an outline of student's practice of interviewing simulated patients at behavioral science in dentistry. This practice was initiated as part of a newly introduced behavioral science course at our school of dentistry, to enable students to acquire communication skills, comprehensive understanding, and a proper attitude vis-à-vis patients. Students as well as instructors involved in the practice evaluated it as highly relevant for clinical education. It is concluded that the development of such practices in dental education is a prerequisite for training students to dentists oriented toward patientcentered dental practice.
