From past threads i'm guessing that they'll ask us stuff about our work experience and maybe PS in some stations? There will probs be acting ones as well
Hello! See this thread here for advice on Leicester interviews! We answered someone else who had the same question .
On the Birmingham Medicine website, if you scroll down to the section named 'The Interview' you'll find a link to this page (it's actually a PDF which you can download or view in your browser). It really goes in-depth, and into great detail about the different kinds of stations, and what you'll be assessed on - so definitely have a thorough read of the whole document, and try and prepare for all the types of stations mentioned by doing lots of practice!
Bristol has 10, 5 minutes per station and 1 minute to read the question/scenario. There'll be 40 applicants, 2 groups of 20, 2 rotations of the 10 MMIs occurring at one time.
Bristol focuses a lot on your extra curricular and there will almost certainly be one specifically on work experience due to the fact you have to fill in the form for the MMIs. Just make sure you have an answer to Why Bristol/why this course. Knowledge of current developments in Medicine and understand how to approach an unknown question on ethics. Keep up to date on what's in the news. Obviously, that's just general prep really but it works for Bristol.
Also your overall impression is important, so don't panic and stay confident. The interviewer has zero knowledge of your personal statement. If you have an interview you have what they want, now you have to show the interviewer. Yah, that's my advice. Good luck!
EDIT: Reflection! Reflection is key, Bristol love it. It's all well and good that you've done it but what have you learnt/what skills have you developed/why is it important etc etc

Thanks so much 😄, will keep all that in mind for sure! Did you have an interview there too?
Yeah, I had one earlier this month. Some of the medicine/career based questions were topics you should know if you have a genuine interest so all in all it was okay. That advice is basically a brief overview on what I started with and I found the interview was not unexpected. When's your interview?
