The interview stations/topics will most commonly be based on the following areas:
Motivation and Insight into Medicine – this may include questions such as:
Personal statement/General Stations – These often examine your work experience. Here, you should highlight any volunteer work you have done, as well as any extracurricular activities which have allowed you to develop skills that you feel will be of use to you. You may be asked:
Ethical dilemma/scenario – These stations often have no clear right or wrong answer and instead test your ability to consider the situation at hand, before giving your opinion/stance on the issue. The four ethical principles and GMC handbook are likely to be of great use to you in this station.
Case Article Review – Your opinion on recent health news, which may include questions such as:
Data Analysis – here, you may be given graphs, tables of data etc and asked to describe and explain the trends. To learn how to get through these types of stations, read through BlackStone Tutors 6 Point Approach for Data Analysis.
Observation Tasks – These tasks require objective assessment of often non-medical photos (eg. A photo of a logo or a family). Review BlackStone Tutors Outside-In Approach to Observation Tasks in order to succeed in these often challenging stations.
Role play Station: This may involve interactions with a trained actor, or medical school student as well as an observer. For effective ways to navigate this type of station review BlackStone Tutors “6 Stages of MMI Role Play” as well as the MMI Question Bank for a range of role play stations to practice.
