Summary: The study found that communication skills training using experiential methods in a safe environment can improve students' attitudes towards communication skills. A short traineeship in general medicine can help students quickly integrate training outcomes into clinical practice without deteriorating their attitudes. However, a 6-month medical course without training may exacerbate students' negative attitudes toward communication skills.

Summary: This article systematically reviews the evidence related to the role of simulated participants (SPs) as educators and their feedback practices. The study highlights the benefits of SPs' authentic role portrayal and feedback interactions on learners' outcomes. However, the heterogeneous data and lack of consistency in SPs' preparation and training for role portrayal and feedback indicate the need for further research on effective strategies.
