Thanks and all the best for the interview.

It’s not true that the total application score includes the portfolio score. It’s also not the case for this year that the communication score is based on the whole interview, it’s based on only on the clinical station.

Thanks Kahkashan, Can you please clarify the interview timings? You said it is 60 minutes but then at 5:40 it said 2-9 minutes. Is that for each of the 5 sections in that list? And are their specific or guideline timings for each section?

[@MumtazKeh]

My bad. The total duration of the interview is 30 minutes, so 2-8 mins each. As candidates we just have to finish intro within 2mins. For the rest of the interview, they take care of the timing.

@@MumtazKeh Thanks. For the benefit of others, I summarised the following info from the IMT website: Interview Structure and Timings (30 mins total allocated time) Station 1 - 11 mins Q1 Application & Suitability - 6 mins a. Presentation - 2 mins b. Questions - 4 mins Q2 Ethical Scenario - 5 mins Station 2 - Clinical scenario and patient handover - 11 mins a. Reading & prep time - 3 mins b. Questioning - Up to 10 mins c. Handover - 1 min

Hello. Can you please tell me if these two sources would be enough? Some people say the emergencies section from the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine should also be done.Given the time constraints, I don't think I can do that. Additionally, should we do the whole of the ICS books questions? It's quite extensive.

Hello. Your video was very helpful. I am currently studying for msra and have to prepare for the interview as well. So how much time daily should take out from studying to prepare for the interview?

[@MumtazKeh]

It varies from person to person . But 30 minutes per day should be more than enough.

[@anshumanpanda9500]

Can you please tell that are the questions asked the way it there in Medibuddy? In the interview? Is it same or different?

[@MumtazKeh]

I’d say the mock questions do give you a pretty good idea of the interview.

Hi doctor Could you please make a video on Pathway for surgical training in the UK after clearing PLAB

[@MumtazKeh]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, the journey to surgical training in the UK is quite structured-starting with passing the PLAB exams, building a strong CV, passing the MRCS exams, and then applying for surgical training through Oriel, followed by interviews. I’m planning to create a discussion video with some of my surgical training friends to dive deeper into each of these steps. We’ll share personal experiences, tips, and advice to help guide candidates through this process. Stay tuned for the video, and feel free to let us know any specific questions or topics you’d like us to cover!

Tysm for the video♥️ it was helpful Would be getting in touch on instagram

[@MumtazKeh]

Sure 😊

Thank you for the video doctor. But this year the format has changed. The interview score is the sole decider of the rank and ergo the offers received, your application score has no relevance to the final score.
