MMI question: Role play with an actor
Cross infection and a colleague cutting corners
You are a dental student on placement. The practice has run out of an instrument, and a few minutes ago you heard Dr Patel, the dentist you are shadowing, tell the nurse to wipe down a single use one and use it again on the next patient. The next patient is in the waiting room. Dr Patel is on her own in the surgery writing up notes. Speak to her. You have five minutes.

What this kind of station tests
A scene played with a trained role player, in which the task is almost never the information and almost always the person.
