i have an interview for cambridges graduate program very soon and your channel is a god send. I admire how effective your communication skills are. Please keep it up!
Hi Dr ollie, as someone who has just applied to medicine and is preparing for interviews mmi, what do you think the hot topic that is coming up for this year's interview could be, let me know if u have a good idea as I would rly appreciate, also I love ur videos, so well planned and presented , thank you so much Dr Ollie!
For your question 4 response, is communication considered a character trait as opposed to a skill? Problem solving is also a skill whereas analytical may be a trait. Is it necessary to make that distinction?
Haha, good question. To be honest, I guess it could be both, but I don't think you have to be that exact in an interview answer- as long as what you're saying is reasonable and you don't contradict yourself.
I know you’ve gone over them in seperate videos but could you do one over some more clićhe questions those are those ones I struggle more on, if you can thanks again this video was helpful.
Hi thank you so much, this is an awesome video. I have a question and could really use your help I’m 45 years old female and I don’t have A levels I have a degree and Masters in Law from the UK. looking at the entry criteria, not sure what’s the best thing to do given my age is access to science acceptable? also by the time I pass access to science and UCAT I might be 50 years by the time I apply is that too old. I live in London and I preferably want to stay in London. Would greatly appreciate you help. Thank you so much
Currently 37 about to do an interview and started with a law degree although I am currently a social worker. I have a non science background, I studied for the GAMSAT, I took five months off work and focused on the section 3 as the law background helps with sections 1 and 2. I found the UCAT was more suited towards school leavers. Access courses are ok but read the requirements of the courses carefully as many universities are extremely picky about what they want, many will flatly reject you. Also London is extremely competitive I would include other English universities in your consideration. It’s not easy with a non science background and it will take huge effort but I am proof it’s possible to get an interview at least, if I get in is another story. Hope that helps as I see you got no reply. Many will tell you it’s impossible, remember that and then ignore them
Can doctors refuse to treat patients if the patient does not have the capacity to judge whether the treatment they have requested is in their best interest?
Great question. If a patient doesn't have capacity then doctors will try to act in the patient's best interests- whether that be treating the patient or refusing to treat them if they're requesting treatment that may do them more harm than good.
No definitely not. I tried to give an overview of each answer, exploring a few different angles. In an actual interview, an interviewer would likely interrupt you or ask a follow-up question rather than letting you go on for so long.
6:00 I think it's important you don't lie in an interview. If you don't know facts, don't make them up. Talking about *what* you would talk about is more important. For instance, saying COVID vaccines will reduce the risk of infection is incorrect, and it may make you pass off as willing to come to conclusions on topics you have not researched, based on second hand account or news stories. If it's roleplay, preface that this is your undertanding of the situation.
