The simulation of approaching relating to organ donation consists in reproducing such an interview in conditions similar to those encountered in the intensive care unit. It includes the preparation of the discussion, the way the family is approached, the announcement of the death of their relative, the dialogue with them concerning the donation. Simulation is one of the best ways of training hospital organ donation coordinators in this approach.
