Motivation for Veterinary Science
9 Lessons

Here we tackle the common interview questions on “Why Veterinary Medicine?” – Vet schools want to know why you are applying for veterinary medicine and what your reasons are for it. Do you have a personal story? Are you just really interested in animals? There is no right answer, but it’s all about showcasing your passion for the subject.
Tutorials
Lesson 1
Why Vet Med?
In this first tutorial we explore some of the reasons why you’re applying for veterinary science 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 Vet
Being a vet can be tricky, and vet schools want to ensure you have sufficient insight into the profession. Here we will explore some of the pros and cons of being a vet and how you can display that you understand it well.
Lesson 3
Veterinary 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 veterinary science and talk about the specialty in which you did your work experience.
Lesson 4
Non-Clinical Roles of Vets
Being a vet is so much more than just getting animals better. We explore some of the non-clinical roles here such as teaching, running a practice and more.

Personality & Skills
11 Lessons
44
One of the main reasons vet schools have interviews is they want to see what sort of vet 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 vet.
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 talk about the importance of sympathy and empathy as a vet. 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 vet and we explore scenarios in which you have worked in a team. We will explore why this is important in a veterinary setting and tie in what you have learned in previous tutorials in motivation for veterinary 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
Vet 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 veterinary medicine they want to see you have a life outside of being a vet and we will test you on possible questions involving stress and some of the difficulties faced by vet professionals – in particular starting veterinary surgeons.
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 veterinary 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 vet school.

Work Experience

Tutorials

Here we explore how to use the STARR framework when responding to questions on work experience.

In this section we tackle the hardest part of the interview – Veterinary Ethics. Veterinary ethics comprises a huge part of the degree, and a lot of this subject depends on your own views as often there is no ‘correct’ answer
Tutorials
Lesson 1

→What is a vet interview tutor?
A vet interview tutor is a professional who provides guidance and support to veterinary medicine applicants to help them prepare for their interviews. These tutors are typically experienced veterinary professionals or admissions experts who understand the admissions process and can provide valuable insights into what interviewers are looking for in candidates.
→Why should I consider using a vet interview tutor?
Using a vet interview tutor can be beneficial for a number of reasons. They can help you to build confidence, identify areas where you may need to improve, and provide valuable feedback on your performance. They can also help you to better understand the veterinary medicine profession and what interviewers are looking for in candidates, which can help you to tailor your answers and make a strong impression.
→How many hours of tutoring do I actually need?
There is no obligation to do a certain vet interview preparation scheme. Some students do 10h schemes, some do 15h schemes, and some even do 5 hours of vet interview preparation with us. Around 90% of our students have a minimum of 20 hours, and we recommend it because we have enough time to get through all four stages and do some practice with you. But we are flexible. After the paid trial, you will be able to make a more informed decision.
→When do you have the lessons?
We can easily work around your schedule, we can do evenings and weekends whatever is convenient for you.
→When should I start my lessons?
Universities often only give 10-14 days' notice for an interview, and preparing for the interview cannot be done overnight! This is why we recommend starting your vet interview preparation as early as possible. We have a variety of students who come to us. Some students come 1 month in advance, and some come 1 week in advance. We will tailor our pace to your interview, and your preference.
→Who are the tutors?
Our tutors are all experts in interview and have worked with hundreds of students with varying abilities. Many of our team are from vet schools at universities such as RVC, Keele, Liverpool, and Cambridge. I can assure you that they are all of the highest quality. We will aim to find a tutor who has had an interview at your universities and that support you with our vet interview preparation.
→What experience does Medic Mind have?
Our vet interview preparation course has been taught across the world and is the reason that Medic Mind has been voted the UK’s Best Medical Start-Up of 2018. We have been trusted by over 30 schools in the UK, and we have run a programme with the NHS in Cardiff. When it comes to 1-to-1 teaching we run the most extensive scheme. If you google “Medic Mind”, you will see some of the wonderful reviews some of our students have left us. With the interview, small things such as body language, tone and articulation are crucial in getting the offer. We can’t speak on behalf of other companies, but at Medic Mind we go and above to make sure that you are excelling in all of these areas.
→What is your success rate?
Medic Mind Tutoring can improve interview performance by up to 30%, although it varies from student to student (Based on performance in mock examinations). 91% of our students have achieved at least one place at vet school
→Do you offer face-to-face or is it just online?
Online tutoring works well because of many reasons:
a) Flexibility - We understand that you are quite busy, and so we can easily work around your timetable and do evenings and weekends. We are more easily able to work around your schedule.
b) Recording - We can give you a video recording of each lesson, so that you can watch it back in your own time.
c) Easy to use - 95% of our tutoring takes place online, and all our customers leave satisfied.
However, we can cater for face to face - There is an additional charge of £5 per hour.
→When should I start working with a vet interview tutor?
It is recommended to start working with a vet interview tutor several months before your scheduled interview. This allows you to develop and practice your skills over time, rather than trying to cram all of your preparation into a short period of time.
