One-on-One Medical Interview Training
The GAMSAT is behind you, and now you face the final hurdle before beginning your medical studies: the medical school MMI or structured and semi-structured panel interview. For those who have received an interview offer, congratulations on reaching this stage.
At NIE, we have been providing one-on-one interview training for nearly 20 years, helping students navigate this crucial phase. Our approach is tailored to each student's unique needs, considering their background, experiences, and the specific university they are targeting. These intensive training sessions are conducted live online via Zoom, allowing you to engage with your chosen trainer in a real-time, interactive format.
Feedback from students about their interview training with NIE
Our training sessions are designed to prepare candidates for the unpredictable nature of medical school interviews. We do not rehearse specific questions and answers, as this can lead to over-preparation and potential failure. Instead, we focus on honing your communication skills, logical reasoning, and overall interview demeanour. By mastering these skills, you will be well-prepared to handle any question that comes your way.
Our one-on-one sessions include a mock interview, personalised feedback, and strategies to improve your performance. Each student's responses are meticulously analysed to provide constructive feedback, helping you refine your interview technique. Our goal is to ensure that you are confident and ready for the real interview.
Please note that our one-on-one interview training slots are very limited and fill up quickly, as they are conducted by our principal and head academic interview trainers. We encourage you to secure your spot early to avoid missing out on this valuable opportunity.
Sessions are available via Zoom live interactive coaching, making our training accessible both nationally and internationally. Enrolling in our program also grants you a complimentary hardcopy Interview Techniques manual, which will be mailed to you upon registration.
Whether you have an interview offer or are preparing for future rounds, our professional training can make a significant difference. It’s never too early or too late to start preparing. Here are some common questions our training can help you address:
- What should you study or learn in the lead-up to your interview?
- How do you approach practice questions effectively?
- Can you identify what each question is truly asking?
- How quickly can you discern the constructs being measured?
- Do you know how to avoid common pitfalls that might raise red flags during your interview?
- What strategies can you use if you get stuck or lose your train of thought?
- How can you integrate your achievements into your answers without going off track?
- How do you come across to strangers – genuine or fake, likeable or unpleasant?
- Why are you being interviewed, and who are your competitors?
- How can you balance logical responses with strategic, impactful content?
- What should you expect on the interview day regarding dress code, introductions, and social etiquette?
Our exclusive 3-hour intensive one-on-one training sessions cover all these aspects and more. Most students find this comprehensive session sufficient, but additional tuition can be arranged if needed.
Our trainers will tailor the session to your personal familiarity with NIE materials, preparation level, speaking style, personality, cognitive versatility, communication skills, knowledge of social protocols, presentation habits, extracurricular achievements, personal experiences, and strengths and weaknesses. We provide detailed deconstruction of your answers, body language, eye contact, and etiquette, offering personalised hints, tips, and strategies.
Our overall aim is for every candidate that we train to feel confident and prepared to answer the questions presented to them in a variety of interview formats.
