Discussion of the details of interview questions is against TSR and the med school's rules

Hey Guys,

Best of luck on your MMIs! Take it one station at a time :biggrin:

My top tips would be:

Learn about the course structure and the amenities that the university has to offer, for example in UCLan we have early patient contact and an anatomise table.

Learn about the four pillars of ethics: beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice

Ensure you are able to speak about your work experience, and how the skills you learned will make you a better doctor.

Learn about the common medical dilemmas like organ donation, the use of robotics in medicine, etc https://www.medicmind.co.uk/medicine-ucas-guide/interview-questions-nhs-hot-topics/

I have also attached a link to a video I made with all the tips surrounding MMis : https://youtu.be/l6BZOpc7Gsc?si=CXgXqeQtBjfp9H9z

Best of luck,

Nobody can discuss the content of an interview, it is against the med school and TSR's rules

Yes, everyone wants to know what the questions will be, but those who have done an interview will be breaching confidentiality if they tell you and those that haven't have no more idea than you. Plus it is against TSR rules to discuss interview questions
