Vet med interview help- key info needed

I’m applying for vet med at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and Liverpool and I’m a little worried about the interviews.
What key information should I know before going into a vet med interview that they might ask me about/test me on?
What facts/info should I know from work experience as well (e.g. from farm experience, vet practice experience etc- I want to know what to ask about while I’m there and what to listen out for).
Is there anything specific I should read up on?
Thanks

That really depends on the university and assessment style. I had such a variety across interviews. The key thing to note is that they wont be assessing you veterinary knowledge. Questions are often focused on an interesting case you saw, your career goals, what you learnt from placements, your personal statement and your understanding of the profession. One thing to note is that MMIs can be really random. I also had to tell someone how to build something. It can be truly random.
I wouldn't say there's specific things to ask for on placement but jsut ask questions when you dont know soemthing and write everything down in a notebook
Id say having a knowledge of current issues in the vet world is a good idea. Maybe see if you can sign up for the vet times

I got into both edi and Glasgow so if you have any specific questions for those I can probably help a little

Thank you! It’s mostly the interviews I’m concerned about as I’m not the best speaker. For Edinburgh and Glasgow did they ‘test’ you on information at all? Like general biology/chemistry knowledge or things you should have learnt while doing work experience or things you should know about going into vet med?

There’s a list of stations on the website
Work experience:
Make sure to have some examples of work experience scenarios that you’ve experienced to talk about
Awareness of the profession:
Research basic vet regulations like rvcs
Animal welfare:
Learn the five freedoms
The five domains are also useful
Ethical scenarios:
Practices some ethical dilemmas and make sure to account for every perspective and give multiple options depending on factors that would affect your choices
Eg someone cheating on a test
1.if they were your friend
2. If you didn’t know them
Then what you would do for each of these
Basically don’t just take one narrow minded approach, account for other reasons and variables
Data interpretation
Is difficult to prepare for and I found difficult
Just make sure you can read graphs etc
Numeracy
Easy enough just difficult to check answers thoroughly in the time limit
Maybe practice a few drug calcs and basic stuff without a calculator
Practical task
Also hard to prepare for so don’t worry about that one
Extra tips
You can bring a water bottle in I think so do
Remember to smile and make conversation if there’s extra time
Try relating your reasoning to questions back to your work experience if possible, obviously depending on the station
Lastly don’t stress about it after because it’s impossible to tell how you did

Hi, I have an MMI for Edinburgh at the end of January, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

No they weren’t trying to catch me out with any science stuff but they did ask stuff about my work exp which was not difficult to answer after having done the work exp, only bring up topics in the interview and personal statement that you want to talk about, but honestly Glasgow’s interview was about 20mins and was partly about me as a person and then the last part on vet exp stuff
However Edinburgh is mmi which is a bit more test like due to the timers and amount of interviews however no one is expecting you to know everything a vet would, they just want to see your thought process sometimes.
Edinburgh has a list of the different interview stations on their website

Did they test you on work experience stuff you should generally know, or did they ask questions about your specific work experience? Had a bad experience with my Notts interview related to this, so that's why I'm worried 😭
