What makes a good doctor? How will you contribute to our
university? Why medicine? What did you learn from your work
experience? The ability to provide compelling answers in the
medicine interview to questions like these is the difference
between being offered a place and being rejected. The Medicine
Interview book is an up-to-date (for 2013-2014 applicants) review
of the most common questions, with full answers and pointers on
what the interviewers are looking for. This book contains over 300
pages of questions, with points to get across and full examples on
answering the questions. Example questions: What makes you a good
doctor? To answer this question, you need to know what qualities
are necessary for a doctor to have. Most medical schools have a
list of qualities they expect doctors, and therefore medical
students to have. This can usually be found on their school of
medicine website or in the prospectus so it is worth having a look
through that list. When answering personality-based questions such
as this, rather than just listing qualities, pick two or three and
provide evidence that you possess these skills. "First and foremost
I believe I would be a good doctor because I have a strong interest
in both science and people. I have had an interest in science early
on at school, and it was this interest that lead to me studying
Chemistry and Biology at A level. During Human Biology lessons I
found I always wanted to know the reason why things went wrong in
the body during disease, and it was this questioning that really
fired my interest in the human body. Since I have been old enough
to have a job, I have always had a job which involved lots of
interaction with the public, especially children. Through both paid
and volunteer work I have worked with people of all ages, through
my work at a Care home, a nursery nurse assistant, a math's and
science tutor, as a waitress and a retail assistant. The aspect I
always enjoyed the most was talking to people. I feel my passion
for people and for science, twinned with my good communication
skills, provide a excellent foundation, which if built upon
appropriately would make me a good doctor." What person(s) has had
the biggest positive impact on you? This can be a personal
question, however, it is a good opportunity to appreciate someone
who has either inspired you through their words or actions as a
role model, or someone who has directly contributed to your
schooling or extra-curricular activities. Highlight the things you
have learnt from them or how they have had an impact on your life.
Finally, talk about how you have taken it on board or how this
impact will develop you as a person. "My coach at my football club,
Ridgeway Rovers FC has been one of the most influential people in
my life so far. Over the last 2 years playing under his guidance,
he has not only help me improved me as a footballer, but also
instilled in me some of what he describes as the key values to
succeeding in life. This includes hard work and dedication to your
craft, making sure you are early to the things you need to be on
time to, and finally having the confidence in yourself succeed in
the task ahead of you. These are some of the things which I have
tried to apply not only to my sporting life, but more importantly
to my personal and academic life and have helped me through much of
my A levels so far." Topics covered by The Medicine Interview Book:
