Product Description

A medical school interview is an intense experience and now it is reproduced and captured on video to be used as a learning tool. Medical school interviews are not currently required by Irish medical schools but it is a skill that you may require if you are applying to UK, US, Canadian or Australian medical schools. This DVD was filmed live in HD on campus in front of a group of premedical students - most of whom were invited for medical school interviews. A volunteer is interviewed in front of the class and the entire interview is conducted as if it were the real thing. Ambiguous questions, ethical questions, pauses, interruptions and other elements are created by an experienced author and interviewer. After the interview, an analysis of each question and the mindset behind it is discussed in an open forum format. If you are not sure that you have the interviewing skills to be accepted to medical school, then this is a must-see video.

One-on-one interviews, group or panel interviews and the multiple mini interview format (MMI) - all share certain principles regarding attire, attitude, strategy and content. Whether you are interviewing in the US or Canada, Europe or Australia, you will find the advice and techniques demonstrated in this video to be extremely relevant and helpful. Please note that the standardized test that you must take for admissions to medical school (MCAT GAMSAT UKCAT BMAT UMAT) is not relevant to the universal interview advice provided in this video.To see clips from the video, click here: Medical School Interview Questions and Answers.

About Dr. Ferdinand

Dr. Brett Ferdinand has developed extensive knowledge of medical school interviews - both one-on-one and MMI - because he sat on admissions committees which have used both interview formats.

Besides being an experienced interviewer, he has written several books including The Gold Standard MCAT which has been nominated for 2 book prizes in the US. He also wrote the first textbook ever for the GAMSAT (graduate entry in the UK, Ireland and Australia). He designed this video to provide tips and strategies for attire and attitude, questions and answers, one-on-one and MMI (multiple mini interview format). Currently, clips from this Interview DVD are #1 on YouTube for the search words "Medical School Interview".
