ST Medical interview Course recommendation

Thought i would let the other members know that i went on one of the ST Medical interview courses run by MedicalinterviewUK.com ( www.medicalinterviewuk.com). I think they sponsor this website.For information on medical interview course or medical interview courses click here.

Basically a really professional days training and i was well impressed. The day was very well planned and covered everything that i needed to know.

The afternoon sessions in small groups get you working though all the major areas that you need to know and the individual practive interviews were brilliant. Basically you get interviewed in small groups. Your interview is recorded and then played back on the big screen so that you can see what you are doing right but also what you are doing wrong. At the end of the day i got my interview on a CD rom so i can work on my technique at home.

A really good days training and highly recommended.

The course programme goes along the following
