Also with the presentation is it just verbal or do we have to prepare a powerpoint or something? I seen this thread and all previous years are saying they make a powerpoint/brought in a picture? Sorry for all the questions I’m just really nervous and don’t want to under prepare.

I have mine in an hour. Were the interviewers nice and welcoming or did they just blankly listen to your answers? Congrats on the interview and good luck in the next steps :smile:)

Well done! Best of luck :hugs:
well done to those that did their interviews, I have mine this week and I'm struggling with the personal presentation because I know its supposed to be about why would you make a good medical student / doctor but somehow my presentation turns into a why I want to do medicine speech and i dont know what to do

make sure you talk about specific qualities you have and say why its good for a doctor to have those qualities or why that quality would benefit your career. instead of saying why you want to do something explain why your passion, interest or specific skill in that thing is beneficial to a career as a doctor
Do you need to dress smart for the Blackboard practise sessions? Do people keep their cameras on?

when i had mine, they did ask to put the camera on and i wasn’t prepared so i’d dress normally like not in pjs or something. they put u in breakout rooms to test audio and video. hope that helps xx
Did people get sent an email telling them what each station is? My interview is a week tomorrow and I've still not been told anything. All I know is one station is a 3-minute presentation. Please help! Not sure whether I need to email them asking for the questions.

The 3-minute presentation is the only one that you should know, what the rest of the stations consist of will be unknown until you actually do your interview! :smile:

No worries! I haven't done my interview yet either but you could always just search up on their website what they could ask (motivation, personal attributes, things like that), and you should be able to find previous questions and stations that came up in the years before on other websites. Good luck for your interview next week! :biggrin:

Wait so is the presentation basically answering the question “why would you make a good med student/doctor?” Where did you find this information? Because in the email it just says speak about experience etc they didn’t specify exactly what you’re answering
