About:

This intensive half-day course is designed to equip international applicants with an understanding and awareness of a variety of important areas that are often broached in medical school interviews (both MMI and panel interviews). Through a number of simulated interviews conducted by doctors, as well as structured overviews of key topics, it will enable candidates to practise how to answer questions posed in the interviews in a manner that will allow them to excel.
