The goal is to investigate whether phenomenological conversation methodology can be effective for training with a virtual person, and how students experience the use of such a method to develop both theoretical and practical skills in existential conversations and ethical supervision.

Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to analyze the students' experiences and the effect of the simulation. The project is in line with the university's goal to promote ethical and existential issues in healthcare and is expected to increase students' confidence and competence in handling complex conversations, which in turn can improve care for seriously ill patients.
