Medicine/Dentistry Interview Preparation
Medicine/Dentistry Interview Preparation
The Medicine/Dentistry/Oral Health interview process is one of the most important and highly valued assessments when it comes to gaining entry into Medicine or Dentistry courses at most Universities. It accounts for approximately 40% of the total score used to assess candidates. During this short duration, it is crucial for candidates to perform at their best and effectively express their understanding and desires to pursue a career in Medicine or Dentistry or Oral Health. Often the desires are there but the knowledge of the profession (what doctors/dentists really do on a day-to-day basis) is lacking and this is very obvious during an interview. Our preparation program aims to help students develop background knowledge in the profession and in the university programs, learn how to answer a range of interview questions and gain confidence with the interview process to maximise their chances of success.
Our interview preparation program is tailored to individual students and involves a private one-on-one or small group session (or multiple sessions) with our director and his associates (more info below). The session typically takes 2 hours and covers:
– Information about Australian Universities and the programs they offer
– Careers as doctors/dentists in Australia
– Common interview questions
– Multiple mini station scenarios
– Expectations from interviewees
– Formulating individual responses for students
– Feedback and critique student responses
