Sample Medicine Interview Questions
Just thought you guys might be interested in what kind of questions they were asking in the medicine interview. Here's a sample question I found online from the uni website.
Appendix 1: Sample MMI Question
Attribute (s) being assessed: Respect for diversity (disability)
Category: Communicator
Instructions to applicant: (the trigger)
Imagine you are the principal of a full fee paying school. There has been an allegation by members of the public of an incident in a park in which at least two senior school students were seen verbally abusing a young person with intellectual impairment for the amusement of a group of other students. Two final year students are to attend a hearing with the principal to explain their actions in the incident. What are the issues the principal is likely to consider at the hearing?
Aim of the question: (seen by interviewer only) This question aims to get applicants thinking about discrimination against the disabled.
Further question prompts for interviewer
1. In what ways might the Principal establish the facts of the case?
2. What possible impact might this incident have for the disabled young person?
3. How might the attitudes of the parents of the disabled young person differ from those of the senior students in responding to the Principal about the incident?
4. What underlying reasons might the Principal give for recommending the two final year students are suspended from school?
5. How might the Principal use the incident to raise awareness around disability discrimination in the school?
I obviously didn't get the exact same question but I did get one question that said if a friend of mine was pregnant and she only told me and said that I cannot tell anyone else. Then, she was feeling unwell so the teacher came up to me and asked me if she was pregnant. What are the issues I would consider before answering the question?
Don't ask me what I said....it's all a blur now! 8 stations 7mins each went by so fast! Never knew 7mins was so short! Anyway, its out of my hands now. All I can do is wait! Dum di dum di dum....
