Our medical interview technique courses are popular with doctors at all levels. Our coaching achieves a high success rate. There are five main reasons behind our success:
MAXIMUM 15 participants
We don't make you sit with 100 or 200 other
people in a big lecture theatre like our competitors do. With a
small group size of 15 people, we ensure that
you get the maximum attention and support throughout the day and that you learn
ST
interview skills in a way that suits you personally.
You will receive plenty of
personal attention throughout the day
Not only will the small number of participants allow you
to practice often during the day, you will also have personal access
to the trainer to discuss your personal issues before the course,
during all the breaks and after the course. Perhaps you have a
background that is unusual or a particular feature of your past
training that you want to discuss in more depth.
We will give you
all the time you need!
Group activities and individual practice
Interview
technique is not just about theory. It is primarily
about practice. The small number of participants and our afternoon
workshop ensure that you get plenty of individual practice. Real practice is what will make you succeed, not
formal lectures.
We make you think for yourself
Our teaching strategy is to make you learn all key medical
interview techniques
through discussion and active participation.. We firmly believe
that you will not learn to be good at interviews simply by being
spoon-fed answers via a PowerPoint presentation. Instead, we make you think
for yourself and ensure that you gain all the tools you need to answer any
question thrown at you.
