How will you teach me Medical School Interview skills on the course?
? Our doctors will use well established evidence-based teaching methods like those in medical training. Our training is proven to work and on average 98% of our students are successful in getting at least one offer.
? We do all the hard work researching all the areas that will be covered in medical school interviews. Being medical school undergraduate tutors, we also use our own experience to predict any new areas that might be included.
???? We have extensive feedback from thousands of former alumni, as well teachers from our partner schools and this is used to develop your future training.
? Based on our research we can predict about 90% of the domains assessed in medical school interviews. We are getting better as this, as we now have guidance from the Medical School Council. We will teach you frameworks on how to approach the remaining 10%
? We will teach you techniques to develop your communication skills and become more confident and reflective in your answers
? Our course will include simulated patients and provide any practical equipment for a realistic and accurate MMI station. We will base this on the formats used by the medical schools.
? Dr Mannan and Dr Khan will provide feedback on your performance on every course. You will learn where you went wrong and how to put things right
? Being a live classroom, you will learn from not just from your own feedback but also the performance of other candidates.
? Our course is suitable for students applying all UK medical schools, including Oxbridge, Scottish and private medical schools.
? You will learn the knowledge that you need in a live interactive friendly classroom, just like at sixth form. You can ask questions when you are stuck.
? We will teach you frameworks to help structure your answers and develop your critical thinking skills on the spot. We will not teach you ‘words and phrases’ or ‘stock answers’ – you must learn to think on your own and outside the box.
