The target students are those who have not yet taken this class. Communication exercise using a virtual communication application that reproduces mental symptoms by AI. A communication exercise using a virtual communication application that reproduces mental symptoms by AI will be given for about 60 minutes. Two examples are set as the state of the communication partner: "a person with schizophrenia and active positive symptoms" and "a person with depression and strong feelings of hopelessness". Assuming that the patient is in inpatient treatment, this is the first visit to the room during that workday, and the student begins with a greeting to take charge of the patient's condition for the day. Although no communication goal is set, the flow of communication is developed by considering appropriate communication in response to the patient's complaints of distress.
