Three months of practice. With me.

“I highly recommend theMSAG for those who are applying to med school. I used their personal statement service when I was under time pressure and they got back to me really fast with a very detailed analysis of my personal statement. My statement improved massively once I went through their notes. I also attended their interview course which was packed with essential techniques and information for medical interviews. What I found most useful was being in a small group and being able to observe how others answered questions. All in all, I think they do a really good job at a reasonable price. I've got offers from 2 schools so far and one of them is my first choice so I'm over the moon!”

“Dear Dibah, thanks for your coaching and support. We are so blessed to have you professionally guiding Ian through in his journey towards medicine.”

“Dear Dr Dibah, thank you so much for your detailed feedback. It has been incredibly helpful and has made a real difference in my preparation. I have already completed my Nottingham interview and now preparing for Leicester.”

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to do a mock interview today! I feel much more confident in how to approach my interview prep going forward.”

“Absolutely great the interview prep for mmi was fantastic and the med...”

“Good value compared to other companies. I did the MMI preparation course an...”

“My daughter did it and found it useful, recommended to a friend.”

“My daughter, who wants to apply for medicine, is finding your course informative and useful. Thank you for the resource, all medical entry courses seem to involve considerable payments, and therefore receiving a bit of free help is brilliant for keen students.”

“Quite a thorough guide to the methodology and content of answers you should be using in interviews. Done by doctors and medical students who provide a step by step guide to types of questions with examples/exemplar answers. Would recommend going through if you have an interview for medicine.”

“Many of the applicants probably have had purchased the ISC medical revision guide however, the core topics in the book are not as well developed as the ones shown in the MSAG Interview Course. As a result, I was able to tackle ethical issues and other questions in a better way having properly learn the core principals and whatnot from the course. Thank you MSAG and all the People who were involved in the making of the course, you have my gratitude.”

“Live Medicine Interview Course”

“I learnt a lot of structured ways to answer the various interview question types so that I can be prepared regardless of what question I get in the interview. The sessions were clearly organised and linked so it flowed really well, and it was engaging. I got to answer a lot of practice questions which improved my confidence as well.”

“I found the team at MSAG very helpful”

“Excellent interview course with very helpful tips and feedback”

“My son found this course very helpful. He has done 3 MMI interviews and the course helped him in all 3 interviews. He has recommended this to a few of his classmates as well. Thanks to all the tutors who took the session. Best Regards”

“The way in which it is structured is very useful: Usually, these types of courses have longer length videos, however the MSAG course has many smaller videos, which are broken down by specific topic. This made the content very comprehensible, and not at all boring.”

“My experience using this item was extremely helpful. I’ve learnt so much content and was glad I had a chance to practice answering interview questions as well. Dr Paul Grant was very helpful giving lots of advice and structured feedback for every question I answered.”

“I went to my first course very apprehensive as I was unsure of how to progress in my performance. The course facilitators were very knowledgable and useful in terms of strategising how to present. Whilst I found the knowledge to be things I had looked at I found the perspectives of the facilitators invaluable. The practise was also extensive and gave me plenty of ideas on how to improve further and where to direct my practise.”

“overall really helpful. As someone who didn’t do any training before it was really helpful for me to get some basic knowledge of the different stations of MMIs and the different technics for me to continue working on my own.”

“Good”

“my overall experience was absolutely amazing. It was very informative and helped me clear out many issues.”

I would recommend this course to People who have and have not done any preparation yet for their interviews.”

“I found the course informative, though I will need to go home and do lots of practice. This course has given me the tools to do that. Friendly tutors, many types of questions covered.”

“I enjoyed my experience overall and it was very beneficial for me to have to this. I have learnt new mnemonics to help me retain the information better and how to use them structure my answers better. I would be better if we could maybe do some more practise questions on all of the different sections”

“It was very useful. Went through how to structure answers and used it in examples. EBI: Would like to have a chance to do the role play station.

“Really impressed by this course, everything was explained well.”

“Very good in providing a realistic picture of role plays and group tasks. Very informative content. Could be more personalized to our selected medical schools to improve.”

“I had a very positive experience. The teachers were very engaging and friendly, providing an enthusiastic atmosphere to learn and improve our skills. I have a much deeper understanding on how to structure answers and go beyond what the typical medical applicant may say. I feel well supported to go and prepare for my medical interview.I am more aware of what the current hot topics may be. It may be useful to be given a longer list of current hot topics, that we can research into when we leave.”

“Very friendly experience and really helped me gauge the ins and outs of how the MMI works and rally useful techniques to approach all the different types of questions. Ash is a very engaging tutor and relays info very well”

“Highly valuable, and each lesson was made easy enough to follow”

“Good course! Great structure! Massive help!”

“The course gave me lots of questions and information about the MMIs thus greatly boosted my confidence for the interview.”

Rachel and Firaz were very friendly and very knowledgeable which really helped in understanding techniques. I would definitely recommend it his course.”

“The course was extremely informative. Plenty of content on many possible questions were covered. Most importantly the oppurtunity was given to practice questions under time pressure.

“This was a fun, enjoyable course which helped explain aspects necessary for an interview.”

“I attended the one day interview preparation course and really enjoyed the interactivity of the course. The teachers were really knowledgeable and the day was really rewarding. Thank you very much!”

“The course was well structured and it is personally tailored to you which I thought was amazing. The coaches already knew your background (via reading your personal statement) and universities you have applied to and tailored everything to you. The course helped me structure some of the interview questions which came up on the actual interview. I have learnt so much during the course and the NHS hot topic course that comes with it is excellent and you can view it any time for a year which is fantastic. Some of the coaches are actual interviewers therefore you get a real feel for the interview (e.g. Questions & what they are looking for) and they give you immediate feedback to help you prepare. The service is amazing – every time I have called to ask questions about the course they have always picked up or have called back within the same hour. It is definitely worth the money; time and they honestly care about you and your journey to medical school which is rare!”

“Learned lots about strutting answers, and aspects of the structure of the NHS. Will make use of the online videos available to me.”

“This course gave me excellent insight into the styles of questions that are asked at interviews. I walked in today not knowing much about interview content and styles however walking out today I am very content with my experience and I have gained lots of knowledge. This is a highly recommended ale course!”

“I really enjoyed the interview course today and learnt a lot more about the interview process and what I need to focus on in the coming weeks. The way the course was structured was highly beneficial for my learning and the group of 12 (split into 2) was very helpful in getting the most out of the experience. The staff were very energetic and the course was clearly well planned out. I appreciated the opportunities for questions and recording the practices we did alongside feedback.”

“Overall really useful. Much better idea of how I need to structure my answers and it’s simply a matter of practice. Wish there was a way to have access to more unique questions to do with each of my university choices. Overall I was very pleased.”

“Really informative. Covered all the different structures needed to answer different types of questions, as well as important content NHS hot topics and ethics to name a few. Got lots of practice answering questions and received feedback as to how we and and how to improve. These attempts were filmed which I’m sure will be very useful but extremely awkard to watch back later!! Those running the course were really knowledgeable and could answer ever question asked and didn’t mind explaining things again.”

“Really helpful. Gave a lot of insight in the types of questions that could come up that I didn’t know could such as the video or picture. I found the acronyms for giving an example and breaking bad news really useful as I have struggled structuring my answers. I also found the information on the challenges to the NHS particularly helpful and how to deal with role play.”

“Very thorough teaching of what an MMI entails and what techniques you should use to perform well. Interview experience was very good at placing me under pressure and learning how to correctly structure an interview answer. Good balance of time spent on each section throughout the day. Recording of answers will be very helpful to look back on. To improve, more example interview questions could be provided however I think this course will improve my performance at interview.”

“Very interactive, really pulled me out of comfort zone. I started the day reasonably shy, however the tutors really helped me to come out of my self. I noticed how the more quieter members of the course were involved in the course by the tutors. Improvements: Although it’s difficult due to reasonable sized class, tailoring the experience to each individual and their personable statement could definitely be improved. Do less teaching, more active interview practice. Emphasis that members need to do the videos and revise their knowledge of interview prior to course, so more actual interview practice can be done! Overall, great experience and great tutors.”

“In all honesty, I didn’t think I would need the course as I have plenty of interview experience before, however, within the first 15 minutes I realised that i definitely needed it. With no prior knowledge of the kinds of questions they’d be asking, everything was new to me and being given tailored advice was very useful. It was also great to hear others responses to answers as it gave me ideas but also an insight into what the other applicants would be like. Some parts were slow, such as the NHS challenge practice questions and going through the pneumonics. Overall very helpful.”

“Very interactive and gave us an extremely solid foundation and covered all the bases. Ensured everyone practiced all the different types of questions which was also very helpful.”

“Amazing !!!! Appreciate them being able to go over the complete range of different things univerisites can ask us.”

“I feel that the course was very informative and provided a broad insight on the types of questions and ways in which theses questions are asked. Brief mention of specific universities was mentioned which gave a deeper insight. I particularly think the idea of recording answers and feedback will pose as beneficial when looking over notes and preparing further for the interview.”

“It provided me with more confidence, which is something I often lack when I'm in new situations, the combination of practicing then teaching was helpful in my understanding of the separate stations. I would've liked to have spent more time on the role play stations.”

“It was really useful, especially for preparation of MMIs as prior to the course, I had no information about the different stations. I learnt a lot from how to structure my answers and what to include in each part.”

“I did the 1 day interview course and I am applying for graduate medicine. It was an incredible course, expensive and very intense but well worth the money & time. The small class size means that you can have all your specific questions answered and also practice answering questions yourself. I feel so much more prepared for my interview now - I don't know what I would have done without this!”

“I thought it was a really informative and hands-on course with two very enthusiastic and helpful teachers. Practice interview questions gave a lot to work on and think about.”

“Great”

“I found it extremely helpful, more that I thought it would. I’ve definitely gained more confidence and gave me a good idea of what to expect.”

“A jam packed day that covered all aspects of the medical interviews. I am leaving feeling much more confident about my interview technique. It’s amazing what a day can do! Expensive but worth it.”

“Very factual, I learnt a lot of information which will be very useful for my interview process”

“Overall was very pleased with the course instructors and their personalised feedback. The video recordings which you can see what you did well and not so well on was also useful. The interview techniques for structuring a range of questions were very helpful. The range of questions you answer helps build confidence.”

“It was a great and interesting experience and it really helped to improve my confidence and interview techniques.”

“Excellent insider information and practice.”

“The course was very helpful and very personallised.”

“Very detailed, personal service involving great approaches to questions whilst promoting individual responses.”

“Very good course”

“Course provided an excellent insight into what the interviewers are looking for as well as providing structures to most effectively complete the stations”

“The experience was honestly a really good day and the facilitators tried to ease us into it with a little bit of an ice breaker. The information was absolutely amazing and summarised exactly what we needed to know. The practise stations were really good as well”

“Very good arrangements and excellent course - ticked all the boxes”

“Very good course. I think the actual MMI practice was very good in preparing for the interview on top of the morning theoretical content discussion. Bit on the expensive side but worth it.”

“The doctors were experienced and gave good tips”

“This course was well organised. The preparation materials and details of the course were sent out in good time. The structure of the day was good, with relevant topics covered in appropriately sized groups. My daughter felt that she gained positively from attending this course. We're now hoping to get some interview offers!”

“I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs that boost to get over that hurdle in the MMI stations. The supplied information was very useful and informative with the current NHS topics as well as the medical ethics scenarios. The video caption of my interview has taught me a lot about my body language and what I had to work on from the feedback from the Doctors who have helped with the at most dedication and advice to take onboard to work on. The whole course was interactive as a group or on an individual basis; I was very confident that I have picked the right team to help me bridge the gap. Thank you theMSAG team and keep up the good work. I am definitely recommending my colleagues to attend this course.”
