MMI question: Role play with an actor
Telling a patient a tooth must come out
You are a dentist. Mr Harris, who is 52, came in with pain in a lower back tooth. The X-ray shows the tooth has broken below the gum and can't be saved. He is waiting in the chair. Explain this to him and talk about what happens next. 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.
