Cambridge Medicine Interview Thread - 2019 Entry
Thought I'd finally create this thread for Cambridge Medicine interview holders 2019 entry, as a place to discuss interesting questions and possibly share advice if you wish. Cambridge's interview is known to be very science focused but remember general questions do come up. Treat this not as giving your competitors an advantage as such but just as a place to bring up intriguing discussions which will broaden your understanding of certain topics.
I've tagged some recent users invited to interview but feel free to tag others:
@MateFeher @Jasmine_2001 @choco08 @HeadHoncho @Success_Anyanwu @sb1059 @kursk1896 @Babster71 @chloedoubleyou @achiu @Iksu_51
@Mephistopheles07 you're the real OP for coming up with the idea
I'll start off with some past questions I've heard of, and you can comment your own or suggest answers for these:
1. Why are people obese?
2. Why is oxygen carried in red blood cells and not dissolved in the blood plasma?
3. Do you think gender dysphoria should be classified as a mental illness?
4. What is the concentration of water?
5. *throws pen across the room* Draw what you just saw.
Other user questions:
1. MateFeher: how does protein structure and shape change in outer space?

Hello, and thanks a lot. Some ideas:
1) I’d talk about some sort of metabolic balance between the calories one consumes and the energy exerted through daily activities. I’d discuss the way energy is stored in the form of fat, I’d draw a triglyceride of some sort, as well as a sketch of a fat cell. I’d detail the evolutionary advantage this yields to humans along with other animals. I’d then talk about our modern lives, with processed foods and low activity and sedentary lifestyles and so on and so forth. There’s also a lovely social aspect to discuss here.
2) My only thought at the moment is that O2 doesn’t dissolve too well in water, so cellular carry entails a higher level of efficiency. Also, if your cells carry oxygen instead of it just floating in your plasma, you add a biological component to the purely physical and chemical system that would describe your circulation without RBC’s. Once again, more control, more places for your body to modify oxygen supply as needed. Then there’s the issue of how O2 would cross the cell membrane, this is probably also easier with discrete carrier molecules.
3) I really like this one. I’d start off with the fact that the DSM-V, which is the current edition of what might be called the Bible of psychiatric diagnoses, does classify gender dysphoria as a mental illness. I’d have to think on the spot about what it actually means to say that someone is mentally ill. The standard deviation-from-the-norm approach can’t be applied, imo, to mental illnesses, for a number of reasons. I’d try to formalize a definition of the illness for myself (maybe the interviewers could help). I believe the last time I had to discuss something along these lines I came up with the following definition of mental illness: a mental parameter or condition becomes an “illness” necessitating treatment when and only when this parameter greatly inhibits the patient’s ability to participate in day-to-day activities, or something like that. So, if for example a boy feels like he wants to wear female clothing and feels like a girl and enjoys that social role, but largely leads an acceptable life from a medical pov, then he (or she) is not ill. This does not mean that his pediatrician cannot supply puberty blockers and other such medications! In fact, this ties back beautifully to the concept of gender-confirmation therapy/surgery as opposed to calling it anything else. If, however, a serious case of gender dysphoria also indices major depression and suicidal ideation, then I’d say that person is medically sick and needs professional attention.
4) I’m afraid I don’t understand this, concentration as a physical concept only applies to solutions, by definition.
5) I think this sort of question only exists in legends and myths, à la “draw a cross section of a bicycle wheel”
And a question of my own: how does protein structure and shape change in outer space?

where do people get their interview questions from?
Google. Plus it’s very easy to come up with them for yourself. Next time you’re thinking about a biological concept, ask yourself why things work the way they do and go as deep as you can, just practicing creating theories and thinking on the spot.

Wow! Very impressive answers to 1 and 3!
Regarding question 4, a quick google will tell you that it's 55.5 mol/dm3. This is because c=n/v and the density of water is 1g/mol, therefore in one mole the mass of water would be 18g and take up a volume of 18cm3. 1 mole/0.018 = around 55 mol/dm3
Haven't searched up question 2 but it's something to do with the fact that haemoglobin increases efficiency of oxygen carriage.
Question 5 is actually something a friend at Oxford told me they got asked. A sensible suggestion would be to draw a graph of distance against time, but least don't draw a guy chucking a pen
For your question, I would guess that because of the absence of gravity, proteins would become longer ('you're taller on the moon than earth' saying) but some of this elongation may be offset by the decreased temperature which may cause the primary structure to contract.
where do people get their interview questions from?
to answer your question;
id probably talk about the temperature of space being a lot colder than on the surface of the earth - near absolute zero. this'll definitely impact the shape by causing denaturation. radiation/charged particles from solar wind might interfere with ionic attractions present in the secondary structure of a protein, so this'll also impact the overall quaternary structure of a protein. not to mention the vacuum could cause proteins to change shape because of a change in pressure.

Right, you’re totally right about the concentration one, silly me lol. Getting late here haha
In terms of proteins- what does extreme temperature do to proteins?

Very nicely done, I actually didn’t consider the radiation when I thought about it for the first time.

Couldn't think of why extreme cold would affect bonds in polypeptide chains. Googled it and "Cold denaturation leads to partial unfolding of the polypeptide chain, and is a result of change in interaction between water and hydrophobic groups." So I gather the denaturation is more due to the freezing of water rather than it affecting intermolecular interactions within the chain. Interesting :O
But then this nullifies the whole concept of cryogenics so not sure how that would work.

That’s interesting, I’d definitely assume denaturation happens. However we DO typically discuss proteins only under aqueous circumstances, which this isn’t. I have something to think about now!

Well the body would be an aqueous environment since we are 70% water.
I researched how cryogenics worked if cold denaturation existed. Thought you might be interested to know: "you can freeze store proteins is that if you rapidly freeze a protein (as is common in the lab) at a very low temperature you 'vitrify' it. This can restrict its mobility and its ability to form non-native interactions. One of the reasons it's not recommended to freeze proteins by just putting them in the freezer and letting them slowly freeze is that water will freeze before protein causing a receding volume into which your protein is solubilised."
Basically, the effect also depends on the speed at which temperature decrease happens. Nice question, explores a lot of fundamental areas!
1) I would draw your attention to the fact that obesity has many causal relationships and as a future doctor you need to understand about the social determinants of health: http://www.shiftn.com/obesity/Full-Map.html The calorific model (calories in = calories out) model does not take into account food insecurity (quality - access - nutrient density / paucity) is reductionist in thinking. The obesity crisis is function of poor public health nutrition policy and is not evidenced based, and if doctors are going to move forward with stemming or reducing the epidemic then lifestyle medicine needs to be supported. 3) gender is a social construction - and no - it should not be medicalised. While there are biological reasons for why gender dysmorphia exists (higher oestrogen but is not expressed chromosome) and there are associated depression and anxiety that comes with gender identification, the 'condition' should be accepted and not medicalised

This is very useful! Thanks
Does anyone know whether the academic questions are strictly Biology and Chemistry-related or if we’ve put in our SAQ that we’re also doing A-Levels in Physics and Further Maths for instance, can we also be asked questions from the topics in those subjects? Or does it change from college to college?
Also, can they only ask questions from the content we’ve already covered— as we’ve stated in our SAQ— or can they ask questions from all of the A- Level syllabus? Trinity for example says on their website that the candidates should be prepared for questions from their entire syllabus...

*Anything* in your SAQ/UCAS is potentially up for grabs, but it won't be the focus of an interview.
Will we be asked questions related to our GCSEs even if you no longer take it at a level e.g. physics?
