Medical school interviews are a critical step in your application process. They’re not just about testing your knowledge but also about assessing your communication, empathy, and problem-solving skills. Here’s how to prepare effectively:
1️⃣ Know Your “Why”
- Why do you want to become a doctor?
- Reflect on personal experiences, values, and goals.
- Be authentic—interviewers appreciate genuine answers over rehearsed clichés.
2️⃣ Understand the Core Questions
Prepare for common themes like:
- Why medicine?
- Tell me about a time you worked in a team.
- How do you handle stress?
- Structure your answers using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
3️⃣ Stay Updated
- Be informed about current healthcare issues, such as the challenges faced by the NHS or global health crises.
- This shows awareness and commitment to the field.
4️⃣ Practice, Practice, Practice
- Mock interviews are essential. Practice with peers, mentors, the Doctri team, or even in front of a mirror.
- Focus on body language, tone, and clarity.
5️⃣ Showcase Your Unique Skills
- Do you have leadership experience, a creative hobby, or a unique background?
- Use it to highlight what sets you apart as a candidate.
