About this title

Review:

As the headteacher of a large school, every year I recommend ISC Medical's medical school interview book to all students in my school who wish to study medicine. The book covers all aspects of the interview process in a good amount of detail and provides key techniques for students to come up with answers that have a strong impact. --Julia Verne, Headteacher

I run the "Widening Access to Medicine" programme for a large London hospital, a programme designed to offer teenagers from deprived backgrounds access to medical studies. Every year, we provide copies of ISC Medical's excellent medical school interviews book to all participants in the programme. We find ISC's book to be the most in-depth book on the topic. Indeed it has equipped many of our students with the interview skills they required to perform well on the day. --John Hendon, Widening Access to Medicine coordinator

From the Back Cover:

If someone asked you: "Why Medicine" or "What are the qualities of a good doctor", would you crumble or would respond with the same old cliche as the next candidate?

How about: "What makes a good team player?", "Are you a leader or a follower?", Should alcoholics receive liver transplants?", "Was it a good idea to send a man to the moon?". These questions are posed are real interviews for medical school and, at last, there is a comprehensive text that will help you answer them, and many more.

This book is an easy-to-read practical guide that will help you express your true potential and get that medical school place you dreamt of.

ISC is established as the leader in the field of interview skills for the medical profession. ISC trains doctors and medical school applicants almost every day of the year. With a combined experience of several thousands of candidates and many more thousands of interview questions, along with our teaching style, we have put together a book that will help you teach yourself to shine at your interview.

Areas covered in this book include questions on: Background and work experience; Personal attributes; Motivation for Medicine; Studying Medicine; The NHS and the medical environment; Medical ethics - issues and scenarios; Handling difficult colleagues; Hot topics - today's temporary medico-legal and political issues and many more.
