Ater we have confirmed the areas of focus with our students, we can offer the appropriate: mock interviews, practicals, workshops and pre-readings that will prepare the student for their upcoming interview. As the students engage with these activities, they will encounter a range of topics that are commonly assessed as interview questions or dedicated MMI stations. Students will need to familiarise themselves with these topic areas to ensure they provide a comprehensive response demonstrating their maturity as an applicant.

🔧Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

✅Structuring responses to common interview questions - acronyms such as S.T.A.R. | S.P.I.K.E. | S.E.A.R., act as a summary for these structures.

✅Personal questions regarding qualities (e.g. teamwork - “Tell me about a time you had to…”).

✅Motivation for medicine.

✅Delivering bad news.

✅Clinical communication.

✅Medical Ethics.

✅Public health and ethics.

✅Medicare and healthcare finance.

✅Alternative healthcare complementing evidence-based biomedicine.

✅Empathy.

✅First nations people healthcare.

✅Acting stations.

✅Social justice.

✅Conflict resolution.

✅Multiculturalism.

✅Safety in medicine.

✅Mental health among healthcare workers and managing burn-out.

✅Evidence-Based Medicine (coined by the same people who created MMIs!).

✅Cognitive bias in medicine.
