A3 (1/5): A disclaimer first: it’s been 10 years or so since I’ve been on a medical school interview panel. I’ve done barrister interviews more recently. #ASKMEDICINE
A3 (2/5) First, listen to the question. Don’t make the mistake of hearing a buzzword and going off on your prepared answer. Looks awful.
Then, think. Take a few moments if necessary. #ASKMEDICINE
A3 (3/5) Usually, an answer will emerge quite quickly. Don’t give it straight away. Wait and see if you can improve on it. #ASKMEDICINE
A3 (4/5) Think ‘nuance’. That means appreciating the complexities/subtleties of the problem. Try to see all sides. Show the interviewers you’re aware of them. #ASKMEDICINE
A3 (5/5) Feel free to use a particular methodology, if you want. You don’t have to.
Excellent candidates might draw interesting parallels with other areas. #ASKMEDICINE
