The autumn term is a time of extreme pressure for medical students applying to university and medical schools and it is essential that they are given the support and grounding needed to succeed in their application.
The day has been developed in order to offer students the chance to prepare themselves thoroughly for a medical interview. Medical interviews take place once a university or medical school receives the UCAS form and shows interest in the applicant. They will then invite the student along to have an interview.
This can be a daunting process and many students find themselves unprepared for the questions they are presented with. Many of the interviews can be extremely in depth and specific, requiring a student who appears confident in such situations. Duff Miller realises that in many cases, this is the first formal interview most applicants would have attended. Therefore, we leave no stone un-turned and do our best to make sure the student is as comfortable as possible.
The day covers every topic required to make the applicant as knowledgeable and self-assured about the process ahead. This includes details of each medical school, an individual mock interview in front of a panel, feedback etc.
There will be a variety of tutors at the day offering support and advice in all areas. The members of staff on hand to advise have years of experience helping out hundreds of students going through the same process, with the majority achieving the outcome they desire.
The Medical Interview Practice Day will be held on Saturday 1st November 2008.
* Introduction * Interview technique * How to perform the perfect interview * The specific outlines of each medical school * Typical and a typical past medical school questions * Current affairs useful to know for an interview * Medical ethics * Interview psychology * Body language and vocal delivery * Medical practice * Mock interview with panel * Individual mock interview feedback
