Med University Interviews

Hi,

I'm just panicking, my interview is soon, and I'm wandering, if I don't necessarily choose the right option for ethics, but I have logical thinking, can I still pass?
Also, the way most people on tiktok have a structure to break bad news, if I don't follow it, but show empathy, explain clearly, and all good traits, is that also okay?

Ethics questions don't have a right or wrong answer, else they wouldn't be an ethical dilemma worth asking you about. Just make sure to weight up the ethical argumens of both possible choices with the four pillars of medical ethics and you'll be fine.

Probably a good idea to have some sort of structure planned out for breaking bad news station, but the big thing they're testing for is communication and empathy, so as long as you show them, you'll also be fine.

Good luck! :smile:
