Medical School Interviews
Being invited to interview is a key step in your acceptance to medical school. The medical school in question is telling you that they are interested in you and that you look good enough on paper to be considered to be offered a place to study there. 
This opportunity is your chance to shine. You looked good enough on paper to get this far. Now you have an opportunity to show them your intelligence, your enthusiasm, who you are, and where you want to get to in the future. Its also your opportunity to see who THEY are, for them to put their best foot forward to you and make you want to be a part of their school.
Think about the information that you want the interviewers to find out and leave the interview with. What is the impression you want to leave them with? What is it they need to know about you that shows them that youd be a great doctor and a perfect match for their school?
Many medical school interviewers like to ask about an ethical or moral dilemma based question. We have mentioned this section early in this guide as it is often where most candidates underperform. This can be about very controversial issues such as abortion or euthanasia, but it can also be about healthcare rationing, immigrant healthcare provision, preventative medicine, withdrawal or withholding nutrition/hydration, assisted suicide, etc.
Dont answer what you think the interviewer would like to hear. State what YOU believe, but be able to back it up and explain why you hold that particular opinion. We all hold different opinions and it is these opinions that make us different from other candidates. Balanced opinions are therefore vital.
You want to show the interviewers that you are clued up to the situation, are aware of the 2 sides to the dilemma and can give you own opinion and back it up with sound logical reasoning. Funnily enough there are some characteristics required from a good response which also are characteristics of a good doctor. Awareness of the facts, acceptance of other opinions and the ability to hold a particular stance on an issue are all important.
