Interview Refinement for Medical School Applicants

Persons applying to medical school may be at risk of failing to be admitted because of the lack of interviewing experience and communication, professional presentation, self-confidence and knowledge of the methods and questions that guarantee successful interviews.

The Skills Center addresses this need by offering an opportunity for students to practice the medical applicant interview. This 90-minute practice interview provides a learning environment in which the student will undergo an interview with a simulated “interview panel.” Their individual performances will be observed, critiqued and refined by the Skills Center’s professional staff.
