RVC gateway interview 2022

Generally interviews aren’t a thing you should focus on knowledge on since they ask you to come in with no prior “vetty” knowledge, so apart from knowing the basics of the animal bits of A Level biology I would not be too focused on anatomy parts. You should focus more on reflection of work experience, motivation for being a vet, knowledge of the career and course, ethical considerations, public health, good and bad traits, current topical issues in the vet world etc - things you can discuss. If you really wanted to learn anatomy I’d learn the directional terms (caudal cranial etc) and possibly the basics of bones, e.g. ulna radius etc - but again that should not be a focus, if they present you with something “vetty” like this they are not looking for a right answer but rather to see your thought processes on working out a challenging task.

Best of luck!

I've over-prepared, I managed to practice all of my anatomical locations/direction like Rostal, Cranial, Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral, Caudal, Cockageal, Lateral, Medial, Anterior, Posterior, Proximal and Distal. I can apply all of these to a practical question, I just think it's the nerves and over-contemplating everything.

I even wrote down a step-by-step instruction in my work experience journal for simple interrupted and continuous stitching as the Farm Vets asked me the pros and cons during an umbilical hernia repair on a calf. I do have two full journals I can use with my experiences during my placement at the hospital.

I have delved into brachycephalic dogs, learned their imposed anatomy, conflictions with BOAS, and how and what preventative treatments they use.
