About the Medical School Interview

Medical school interviews are designed to evaluate both your knowledge and your suitability for a medical career, with formats varying across different institutions. Here's what you can expect:

1. Types of Interview Formats:

  • Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI): MMIs involve several stations, each presenting a unique scenario or question designed to test your problem-solving, ethical reasoning, and communication skills.

  • Panel Interviews: Traditional panel interviews feature a group of interviewers, including doctors, admissions tutors, or medical students, asking you questions to assess your academic readiness, motivations, and understanding of medical ethics.

  • Structured 1-on-1 Interviews: Some medical schools use structured individual interviews that focus on specific aspects of your application, such as your personal statement or motivations.

2. Mode of Questioning:

  • Scenario-Based Questions: Interviewers may present clinical or ethical scenarios, requiring you to think critically and articulate your approach.

  • Academic and Personal Assessment: Expect questions about your personal statement, relevant work experience, and how you manage challenging situations, as these elements help assess your readiness for medical training.

  • Role-Play Exercises: Certain interviews include role-play tasks where you must interact with an actor or interviewer as if they were a patient, testing your communication and empathy.

Preparation Tip: Begin practising early to build confidence and hone the skills needed for the specific interview type at your target medical schools.
