The context

An entire faculty, not an isolated pilot

UDIMA — the Open University of Madrid — trains students who, before they can practise, must master something books alone can’t teach: the clinical interview. Rather than testing it in a single course, it brought it into the official curriculum at scale, from undergraduate to doctoral level.

At scale

From degree to doctorate

Degree

Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Speech Therapy.

Official Master’s

General Health Psychology, child & adolescent psychology, psychological trauma.

Doctorate

Doctorate in Mental Health.

A skill that doesn't scale with role play.

Each in-person rehearsal means coordinating schedules, rooms and people: a student practises only a handful of times, almost always with the same profiles and with no objective way to measure how they did. Across 1,000+ students — many studying at a distance — that logistics simply becomes unworkable.

Why it matters

From a handful of rehearsals to deliberate practice

The clinical interview stops being something rehearsed two or three times before an exam and becomes deliberate practice, again and again, until it feels natural. More than 1,000 students now train this way — across degree, Master’s and doctoral programmes — a reach that wasn’t possible when every rehearsal needed a room and an actor.

If you recognise your own situation here, let's talk about how it could work for you.
