How to be confident but not arrogant, how to explain your motivation to study medicine, and how to show commitment to the NHS were among the topics covered at a workshop held at Wellington College.
The medical applicants preparation day on November 19 attracted 38 students in Year 13, all of whom have applied to medical school and needed to prepare for interviews.
Guest speaker Dr Abe Bashir discussed interview styles, ethical questions such as organ donation, drug and alcohol use and ‘self-inflicted conditions’, and also put students on the spot, making them role-play a mini interview.
The students, who came from 12 schools in the Wellington College Student Alliance including The Holt, Ranelagh and Maiden Erlegh, were also able to put questions to a panel of Old Wellingtonian medical students and doctors.
The event was an annual day run by the Wellington College Student Alliance.
