Medical School Interview Skills Course

Fully interactive interview skills course for all medical schools, providing full coverage of all types of questions (general, personal, ethical, current issues) in a fully participative format. Maximum 15 participants.
"An enjoyable day. My interviewers commented on how good my interview technique was. I would certainly recommend the course to all my friends"

Duration: 9:30am - 5:30pm         Participants: 15 max         Venue: London         Cost: £199

 

CONTENT OF THE COURSE

The course consists of a mix of activities, ranging from interactive discussions to small
group workshops and personal practice by being challenged throughout the day in
conditions replicating interview situations.

 

Throughout the day, you will improve your interview technique by learning:
 how to enrich the content of your answers and structure them to maximise their impact
 how use effectively the opportunity that each question gives you to sell yourself.
 how to deliver answers that sound unrehearsed to give a favourable impression.
 how to answer questions of different natures, including:

  • Questions relating to your Personal Statement
    (Why Medicine, tell us about yourself, your work experience, hobbies, etc)

  • Questions relating to your general skills
    (ambition & motivation, communication skills, team playing ability, management &
    leadership skills, teaching skills, your strengths, handling stress, etc)

  • Negative or incriminating questions
    (main weaknesses, what makes you angry, working with difficult people)

  • Ethical questions and difficult scenarios
    (liver transplant for an ex-alcoholic, fertility treatments, should the NHS treat patients
    with self-inflicted diseases, patients refusing treatment, etc)

  • Questions testing your breadth of interest and personal insight
    (Why do most doctors not wear white coats, what is the difference between medicine
    now and 100 years ago, should the NHS fund alternative medicines, etc)

  • Recent developments and changes in the NHS

  • Current issues

Because we limit the number of participants to 15, each participant has multiple
opportunities to learn by discussing individual questions with others, by listening to their
colleagues' performance and by practicing their own answers. All courses are based the
most commonly asked questions at real medical interviews around the country over the
past twelve months.


"I finally found out where I went wrong last year thanks to the course and all the questions we worked on came up. And I got the place...!"
