The practitioner-patient relationship (PPR) is essential to the improvement of health care services for patients suffering from cognitive impairments. However, teaching medical students how to develop a healthy PR using conventional approaches is difficult, due to the lack of real context. To address this issue, TeachMod presents a new educational game-based course that offers an interactive and immersive learning through two different scenarios of psychiatric consultations. The course was tested and evaluated with 64 undergraduate students who expressed a positive attitude to the game design and its pedagogical content. The survey results indicate that the course is sufficiently intuitive to foster learning the fundamentals of an ethical and appropriate PPR.
