Medical & Dental School Interview Preparation Course MMI & Panel Masterclass

Full-Day MMI & Panel Interview Masterclass

Our Medical and Dental Interview Masterclass is a full-day, intensive workshop designed and delivered by doctors and experienced admissions tutors. It helps you build confidence, structure your answers, and excel in both panel and Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs).

Throughout the day, you will move step-by-step from learning core interview frameworks to applying them in realistic practice scenarios. First, you’ll explore what admissions panels are truly looking for and how to approach common ethical, communication, and situational judgement questions. Then, you’ll apply these techniques through structured drills, mock stations, and live feedback.

By combining teaching with practical application, the session ensures you are not just learning — but actively improving. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to work closely with experts who have first-hand experience assessing applicants, allowing you to refine your performance in a safe and supportive environment.

Over one structured day (08:30–17:30), you will:

• Learn clear, proven interview frameworks

• Practise in realistic timed MMI stations

• Receive personalised feedback from experienced assessors

As a result, you will leave the masterclass with not only interview strategies, but also the confidence and readiness to use them effectively. Therefore, this workshop is ideal for applicants to UK medical or dental schools who want focused, high-quality preparation without unnecessary filler.

Why choose Chequers Academy?

• Develop strategic frameworks – learn how to structure answers using methods such as STAR, CAMP and three‑part frameworks and practise applying them to common questions.

• Practise ethical reasoning – small‑group workshops on ethics help you think through dilemmas using the four‑principles approach (autonomy, beneficence, non‑maleficence, justice).

• Master panel interviews – targeted sessions explain what interviewers look for in panel interviews and allow you to practise delivering thoughtful, well‑structured responses.

• Explore current issues – workshops on hot topics and NHS challenges ensure you are ready to discuss contemporary healthcare news.

• Communicate under pressure – role‑play and rapid “speed station” exercises build confidence for MMI‑style stations.

• Receive personalised feedback – group debriefs and strategy sessions help you identify strengths and areas for improvement.

How does this masterclass prepare you?

• Know what schools look for – universities want candidates who demonstrate interpersonal skills, ethical judgement and reflective thinking.

• Understand interview formats – panel interviews involve a longer discussion with a small team of interviewers, while MMIs are circuits of timed stations testing different competencies . Our masterclass covers both, so you know how to adjust your approach.

• Practise station families – build confidence across common MMI station types such as communication, ethics, NHS insight and data interpretation .

• Use structured approaches – frameworks like STAR for personal experiences, four‑principle ethics and SPIES for professionalism help you deliver coherent answers .

• Align with GMC values – universities base their questions on the GMC’s Good Medical Practice (2024), which emphasises patient‑centred care, teamwork and honesty .

• Top tips – practise timed answers, reflect on your work‑experience insights rather than listing activities, stay informed on healthcare news and maintain wellbeing (sleep, nutrition, early arrival) .
