Motivation for Medicine
9 Lessons

10 Hours
Here we tackle the common interview questions on “Why Medicine?” – this is a favourite for MMI Universities and often they’ll have an interviewer who grills you on that single question for 5 minutes! We also explore other topics such as the specialities, important roles of a doctor and the multidisciplinary team.
Tutorials
Lesson 1
Why Medicine?
In this first tutorial we explore some of the reasons why you’re applying for medicine and how to formulate your answer. We will also go through model answers and come up with a perfect one for your interview handbook
Lesson 2
Being a Doctor
Being a doctor can be tricky, and medical schools want to ensure you have sufficient insight into the profession. Here we will explore what some of the pros and cons of being a doctor are and how you can display that you understand it well.
Lesson 3
Medical Specialties
You may get asked where you want to specialise in the future – Don’t worry if you don’t know it’s okay! It’s important however to be aware of the different specialties in medicine and talk about the specialty in which you did your work experience.
Lesson 4
Non-Clinical Roles of Doctors
Being a doctor is so much more than just giving patients medication. We explore some of the non-clinical roles here such as teaching and these might be some of the reasons you’re applying for medical school. For example, you might have an MM where you have to teach someone a task.
Lesson 5
The Multidisciplinary Team
MDT is a buzz-word used a lot but what does it actually mean? What are the different roles in a healthcare system like the NHS and why is it that you want to be a doctor? Is it that you want to be at the forefront of care? It’s important that you don’t disrespect other specialities but also show your drive for medicine here.
Lesson 6
MMI Practice 1
Let’s put our work to practice with real MMI scenarios. We will go through these together with you and show you step-by-step the best way of tackling them. The benefit here is the real insight you get from tutors who have been on the other side of the interview before!

Personality & Skills
11 Lessons

10 Hours
One of the main reasons medical schools have interviews is they want to see what sort of doctor you will make which is often hard to tell from aptitude tests and A-Levels. Here we will show you how to display your compassion, empathy and organisation skills which will make you a perfect doctor.
Tutorials
Lesson 1
Skills and Qualities
Using Medic Mind’s 5 steps, you will be able to answer several personality questions using the same answers! It will also enable you to come across confident and coherent and be able to showcase the wide array of skills you have.
Lesson 2
Inspiration and Emotion
Here we explore the classic ‘who is your role model’ scenario as well as talking about the importance of sympathy and empathy as a doctor. To discriminate between different candidates, interviewers often choose candidates which show a high level of emotional intelligence which we explore here.
Lesson 3
Teamwork and Leadership
Being able to work in a team is an absolute must as a doctor and we explore scenarios in which you have worked in a team. We will explore why this is important in a medical setting and tie in what you have learned in previous tutorials in motivation for medicine. As well as working in a team, you need to show clear leadership and explore examples of where you could have improved how you went about leading a team.
Lesson 4
Organisation & Time Management
Medical School can be a difficult time and universities want to make sure you’re able to cope with the pressure. They want to see how you organise yourself and manage your time. As well as motivation for medicine they want to see you have a life outside of medicine and we will test you on possible questions involving stress and some of the difficulties faced by medical professionals – in particular junior doctors.
Lesson 5
Personality Scenarios
After gaining all the knowledge so far, we will delve further by going through some scenarios which put you to the test. This involves a mixture of MMI and direct questioning. You will gain feedback on your progress so far and sit down with your tutor and identify areas you need to improve further.
Lesson 6
Academia and Motivation
Commonly you will be asked about some wider reading you have done outside of medicine and why you chose the A-Levels you did. You may be probed on what you have gained from your experience in sixth form so far and how you want to carry this on further into medical school.
Lesson 7
Thinking Outside the Box
This is our most popular lesson! We help you tackle some of the most unpredictable scenarios and questions you might get. From being asked who you would invite to a dinner party to where you would travel in the world – these are actual stations that have come up at universities!
Lesson 8

Work Experience
2 Lessons

10 Hours
It is quite likely you will get an MMI station which focuses on work experience and you need to be able to draw on what you have done and go beyond what you have already written on your personal statement. This is why we particularly focus on what you have written on your personal statement and ensure we’ve covered all possible questions you will get asked.
Tutorials
Lesson 1
Using STARR
Here we explore how to use the STARR framework when responding to questions on work experience. It’s important to be able to structure your questions well and using this structure helps us formulate answers which will impress the interviewers. In particular, we’ll look at good and bad answers before going through 10+ questions in the interview handbook.
Lesson 2
Work Experience in Surgery
If you’ve carried out work experience involving surgery, we’ll explore the things you could get asked. Interviewers have a particular set of questions they ask for this so it will be invaluable to gain insight into this. If you haven’t done work experience in surgery then don’t worry, we’ll leave this tutorial!
NHS
Structure
9 Lessons

10 Hours
It is crucial for a medical applicant to have an understanding of the NHS and its structure. You may not know what you want to specialise in, but you should be aware of how GPs link to specialties, and understand the links between the public and private sector.
Tutorials
Lesson 1
NHS Background
We will give you a refresher on some of the foundations upon which the NHS was built and go through questions you could get asked on your interview surrounding the NHS.
Lesson 2
NHS Constitution
The NHS is one of the world’s largest employers and we go through some important values they uphold. These will be vital when you begin practicing as a doctor so it is essential that you are aware of them.
Lesson 3
Health & Social Care Act I
In 2012, the Conservative government introduced a radical change to the NHS which many believe to be a more ‘privatised’ future. We will go through important changes that were made such as the introduction of CCGs.
Lesson 4
Health & Social Care Act
We discuss the impact of the Act and how it has impacted the NHS so far. We will also see what your views are on the Act and what you think could have been done differently.
Lesson 5
Saving Money in the NHS
The NHS is running out of money fast and is in the biggest crises in decades. What suggestions do you have to make things more efficient? What are the ways that the NHS could save money? If you were in charge of the NHS how would you redistribute money?
Lesson 6

NHS Hot Topics
15 Lessons
44
10 Hours
In this section we discuss and debate the key NHS news topics from the past 12 months. It is important for you to be aware of common issues, and to be watching the news regularly. This ‘NHS Booster’ will get you up to date with the key interview topics discussed in 2019.
Tutorials
Lesson 1
Junior Doctors' Contract
This has been a hot topic for quite a while now and finally a new contract was agreed in 2019. What implications will this have for junior doctors and what were some of the sticking points that made the contract take so long to come about? How will this impact working conditions for doctors and did they get a better deal than what existed previously?
Lesson 2
7 Day NHS
Jeremy Hunt, the ex-health secretary suggested that the NHS needs to be properly staffed 7 days a week as a report came out suggesting mortality rates were higher on the weekend. This led to uproar amongst the medical community as currently services are provided as effectively on all 7 days. General practice has become more of a 7-day service with opening times becoming more accessible to all. We will discuss some of the implications this has had for primary care.
Lesson 3
Charlie Gard Case
Here we discuss Charlie who was born with encephalomyopathic mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDDS). Charlie’s parents, wanted Charlie to have an experimental treatment – nucleoside bypass therapy (NBT) however Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) assessed Charlie’s condition was too severe for this treatment to help, although never treated by NBT. This led to a nationwide debate about autonomy and acting in the best interests’ of a patient and attached worldwide attention such as from the Pope and Donald Trump.
Lesson 4
Brexit
The year is 2019 and the United Kingdom still has not left the European Union. What is likely to happen in the next few months is up in the air. What implications will a no-deal Brexit have on the NHS? How will the NHS be affected by leaving the EU? What impact will it have on the workforce – many of whom are EU citizens. Will the NHS get the £350m proposed by Vote Leave? We will discuss this in great length as it is likely this may come up on your interview.
Lesson 5
Mental Health Provisions
There is currently a crisis in mental health services in the NHS and recently the government promised increased funding to help support this – There are also issues associated with sectioning patients, many mental health advocates feel this is very outdated and unfair on patients. We will talk about what more needs to be done to help patients who are suffering from mental health issues and discuss how patients have been neglected and not been given the adequate standard of care due to cuts.
Lesson 6
Obesity Crisis
One in four British adults is Obese, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation – Britain was called the “fat man in Europe”. Amonst children, obesity levels are at record highs and many controversial policies have been introduced to combat these. One example is the sugar tax. The introduction of the levy means the UK joins a small handful of nations, including Mexico, France and Norway, which have introduced similar taxes.
Lesson 7
A&E Waiting Times
There has been a huge spike in patients forced to wait more than 12 hours. January 2019 was the worst month on record for hospital A&E departments, with more patients than ever waiting for more than four hours to be seen. Estimates suggest that more than 5000 extra beds will be needed but is there sufficient money to fund this? There are also talks to remove the 4-hour breach limit as many believe it does not take into consideration many variables which are out of doctors’ control.
Lesson 8
Dr Bawa-Garba
In February 2011, a six-year-old boy, Jack Adcock, was admitted to hospital with breathing difficulty, diarrhoea and vomiting. Having been referred by his GP, Jack was admitted to the Children’s Assessment Unit at Leicester Royal Infirmary, where he was seen and assessed by junior doctor Hadiza Bawa-Garba, an ST6 paediatric registrar. An ST6 junior doctor is in their sixth year of specialty training. Later that day Jack’s condition rapidly deteriorated and he passed away. Dr Bawa-Garba was taken to the High Court, where a ruling on the 4thNovember 2015 deemed her guilty of manslaughter on the grounds of gross negligence.

For the past 6 years I have perfected my skills as a tutor through attending many teaching courses both within military organisations and civilian, so that I can help others get what they want through the subjects I provide services in. Having come from a poor state school and being the only person to apply for medicine in my school, I understand how tough the process is, especially with no help. That is why I want to deliver high quality, efficient tutoring to help others achieve their full potential and act as a mentor/guide so that no questions are left unanswered and students have a clear view on how to achieve their goals. I work very systematically starting looking at all topics generally and assessing abilities then honing in on students weaknesses whilst pushing them in all over topics so they don’t fall behind, leaving no stones unturned and honing on students weaknesses and turning them into strengths. My purpose it to motivate students, teach them topics they struggle to understand and analysing their patterns of answering to correct logic teaching them skills so they can succeed in any exam or interview they attend.
Here is a review that best describes the process:
”Daniel has an amazing attention to detail. He tutored me for my BMAT exams, and his experience in this area was both extensive and insightful. We spent a lot of time on the tricky section 3 essay questions, where he showed his wealth of knowledge on multiple question topics and allowed me to garner the confidence I needed to feel good about my essay answer in the exam.As well as being a superb educator, he is also an extremely amiable person, rich in thoughtfulness and went out of his way to accommodate my timetable as much as he could, despite his own busy schedule. We also had good talks about related topics, about university in the UK, about social life in his university, all things that set my mind at ease and made me very comfortable about the BMAT process. I never felt alone through what is, admittedly, quite an arduous process. While my exam is done, I have high hopes of getting interviews from the courses I chose. I look forward then to Daniel’s help once again, to help me hone my interview skills. I feel very fortunate to have met with Daniel; he has been inspirational and to me and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their studies.”

Hi I’m Chloe! I am an experienced UCAT mentor, and am studying medicine at Newcastle university as my second degree.
I have undergone 2 years of applications myself gaining extensive experiences being interviewed both via zoom and in person MMIs. I have had an offer from every school I had an interview from, and have the feedback from my interviews on what I both did correct and incorrect. This means I have the experience but also the knowledge to correctly guide students through the interview stage of applications. I am able to assist in any part of the medicine/ dentistry interview process having undergone a medicine application myself and helping my sister who underwent a dentistry application. I have got extensive experience in tutoring and assisting students to achieve their maximal potential and hope I can continue this with any future students. I have done an A100 but also an A101 application cycle.
Interview tutoring:
I have got a 100% success rate at tutoring students to achieve an offer from at least 1 of their preferred universities, tutoring 8 students in the 22-23 application cycle. 25% of my students have achieved offers from all 4 universities.
UCAT tutoring:
I did the UCAT first in 2018 achieving the 86th decile and again in 2021 achieving the 96th decile. I have sat both the UCAT and UCATSEN so am able to tutor students on both exams. Having sat the UCAT twice I was able to implement some of my own teaching strategies to improve my own score.
Personal statement:
I have worked for the last 4 years on a volunteer basis helping students write their personal statements and have experience on what to write but also what not to write. I also have had conversations with doctors and dentists on the interview panels and know what they look for and like in a personal statement.
11+
I sat the 11+ as an entrance exam to my secondary school achieving high marks and getting accepted into both schools I sat the exam for.

Hi, I’m Hasan, a welcoming and friendly medical student at QMUL London (Queen Mary University of London).From my experience, I know how convoluted and difficult the Medicine Application process can be, especially with the strict deadlines we must follow to achieve the outstanding scores necessary to get offers. Through this platform, I will extensively train you to learn and understand the most beneficial techniques needed to tackle your exams to ensure you achieve the best results possible. I attained four grade 9’s, and four grade 8’s in my GCSE’s plus A*A*A (+A* in my EPQ) at A-level. During my A-levels I sat my UCAT and ranked in the top 10% decile. In the same year. I received interviews from all 4 medical universities and offers from 4 medical schools. Whilst being a student, I have delivered tutoring lessons on various platforms and have worked with students to guide them on to achieve top grades in A Level and GCSE Biology and Chemistry and guided many through the tough UCAT exams. Through MedicMind, I will share the resources, methodology and most importantly the concept behind each exam specification so you feel comfortable and sufficiently prepared for your exam. This approach will ensure you can get the results you desire. In the past months I have tutored and assisted many students and I am looking forward to working with you.

Hey, I’m Derry!
I look forward to sharing with you the different strategies that I used to tackle the medical school application and to help you on your way to becoming a successful doctor!
The process to apply for medicine is a daunting one, and it is often easy to get lost within the mountains of work that needs to be done. However, hopefully with my help and extensive experience in preparing for these particular exams, as well as previous tutoring experience, I can help make that process a lot less stressful!
I am adaptive in my teaching style, and I can cater to students’ differing needs and preferences.
The difficult process that is involved in applying to medical school are still very recent in my history and remain very clear in my memory. I am confident that, with my recent and up-to-date knowledge, I can offer you the various types of support that you may need on this journey towards medicine.
I’m currently a 2nd year Medical Student at Trinity College Dublin and I have also studied for two years at Imperial College London.
