New Approaches to Clinical Interview Training

Clinical interviews are among the key skills in a psychology degree program. A student project as part of the “Besser Studieren” support series is using an innovative idea to redesign practical training.

Project Besser Studieren: KI-Patient

Student Project Develops a Virtual Patient for Psychological Interview Training

KI-Projekt Besser Studieren: KI-Patient

As part of the "Besser Studieren" funding program, the student project "KI-Patient" is starting at the University of Siegen. Sarah Bürmann and Zoe M. Hanschitz, together with Prof. Dr. Kai Horstmann, are planning to develop an AI phone agent that simulates patients. In a role-play, it is meant to portray individual people with mental health conditions. Psychology students will be able to use it to practice clinical interviews in the seminar "Interview- und Beobachtungsverfahren" (Interview and Observation Methods).
