London and Cambridge too!... went for the 8th Jan for some breathing space though, and as an excuse for 2 big pints!

Nice one! I opted to go to Imperial for the interview on 11th December.

I didn't want to do it before SJT or leave it till after Christmas at King's.


I agree. Same reasoning here. So my options would have been either Imperial or Barts (wouldn't want to trek to Brighton), and just opted for home ground on that basis. It really makes no difference where you go, but it's just a familiar place I guess. That, and it's the closest one to where I stay. It's also a Wed, which means I can technically get the rest of the day off placement.

Same here. Interview both at Cambridge and London.

hey guys, would anybody like to share some information regarding interviews in London? is it just one academic abstract and SJT type scenario? are there any clinical skills tested? much appreciated.

I guess my white box answers were better??
Perhaps but I doubt my white space answers were pants if I managed to get shortlisted for Thames! What a nice way to end the week! :hoppy:

How is everyone going about preparing for the abstract part of the interview?

how did you do the 3 years anatomy demonstrator teaching experience when you are still a student?
I did well in anatomy in my pre-clinical years and applied for an anatomy demonstrator peer-tutoring job in the dissection room after second year and got the job. Pays well at ~£14/hour with one hour's preparation time paid for each session you sign up to teach.

Thames shortlisting selection takes a lot of things into consideration since you can get up to 15 points for extra curricular activities (presentations, prizes, etc), whereas cambridge shortlisting is based on white box answers and possibly CV (although their pack says its done according to the white box answers)
Nicely done to all!

Does anyone have any ideas about the structure of Cambridge's AFP interview? *hopeful*

St George's. :smile:

I think quite a few medical schools have peer tutoring (e.g. clinical skills, anatomy demonstrating) job opportunities going for senior students...
I don't think it exists in Leic!
