As a current medical student, I understand how daunting preparing for medical interviews can be. This study resource includes my own notes which I used to secure three Russel group medical school offers (and being winter-pooled at Cambridge). I have also updated these notes with the insights gained from my own interviews and experience assessing students during their medical interviews.
The Medical Interview Knowledge Complete Study Guide contains the entire collection of resources from my medical interview knowledge series. These high-yield study notes provide all the information and insider knowledge needed for aspiring medical students to excel in their university application interviews.
This resource contains 5 word documents with a total of 46 pages, including:
• Medical Case Studies
• Hot Topics
• NHS Knowledge
