Medical School Interviews: a Practical Guide to Help You Get That Place at Medical School - Over 150 Questions Analysed. Includes Mini-multi Interviews

by Olivier Picard, Olivier Picard

This book presents an in-depth look at over 150 medical school interview questions. The book provides you with techniques to address the various types of questions, analyses good and bad examples of answers, teaches you how to add depth to your answers and how to answer those difficult ethical scenarios and lateral thinking questions. If someone asked you: Why medicine? or What are the qualities of a good doctor? Would you crumble or would you respond with the same old cliche as the next candidate? How about: What makes a good team player? Are you a leader or a follower? Should alcoholics receive liver transplants? Was it a good idea to send a man to the moon?

Sadly didn't get a medical school interview so unfortunately I can't really comment. But... it did make me feel confident about the idea of a medical school interview! Would be a good outline for any kind of interview. I Might 'read' this next year, but honestly it's looking like never for now.

I’ll give it 5 smackeroonies because I think it was helpful! Didn’t like the lack of female pronouns thought! Reading this you would think that all doctors are men, and as a woman myself, that wasn’t ideal!

Comprehensive. But the authors only use he pronouns which is obviously problematic.

Really very good. It does have a strong bias towards 17-18 year olds although still accessible for mature applicants. Most of the book is dedicated to dealing with interview questions. Honestly, the vast majority of the questions are similar every year and I would fully expect this book to be useful for 2-5 years after being published.

There are a lot of garbage books out there that state the bleeding obvious or the freely available when applying to medical school. This is not one of them. Recommended.
