Summary During a clerkship in psychiatry thirty‐six medical students were randomly allocated to one of three teachers who differed widely in their experience of teaching essential interviewing skills. Each teacher taught two groups of six medical students using videotape feedback and discussion of practice interviews. Independent raters who were blind to the teachers to whom the students had been assigned rated pre and post‐training interviews. All three teachers proved effective in teaching interviewing skills and it is concluded that most teachers could probably be taught to carry out this training.
