Priced at £129, the 6med Interview Crash Course is the most effective and yet most affordable medical school interview preparation course on the market. Run by a team of experienced medical students from some of the UK’s top universities, we’ve recently been through the system and will teach you everything you need to know to do amazingly at interview.
In A Nutshell
We know you’re busy. So here’s the essential information about the 6med Interview Crash Course.
- It’s a one-day course, which runs from 10am – 5pm most weekends from November – February each application cycle. Our 2021 courses will be held online due to COVID-19. See our dates and venues.
- You’ll be taught by an instructor who is a medical student at one of the top universities in the country. The course is priced at £129 per student. See our reviews.
- Each student gets a copy of our 200-page A4 course e-book. See samples of our materials.
- We spend the morning going over the ‘content’ of what you need to know for interviews. We cover topics like common questions, weird questions, ethics, the NHS and other important areas. Everything is super-interactive and we make sure everyone’s involved in the discussions.
- In the afternoon, we do mock interviews with a volunteer in front of the rest of the class watching and critiquing (a nerve-wracking experience, but really good practice). Unfortuntately, we cannot guarantee you a mock interview. If you are keen for a mock, check out our MMI Interview Crash Course.
- Throughout the day, we’ll go going through vital strategies and techniques you can apply for your medicine interview.
- We’ve been running these courses for the last 6 years and have taught over 10,000 students. Check out our Reviews page to see what some of them had to say. We also have an MMI Crash Course that takes you through 2 full circuits with detailed feedback.

- Communication skills seminar
- Answering common question types
- Structuring your answers
Knowledge
Common Interview Topics
We’ll teach you what you need to know about things like medical ethics, the NHS and current affairs. This won’t be read to you though – the entire Interview Crash Course is designed to be as interactive as possible. Some of the topics we’ll cover during the course of the day:
- Medical ethics workshop & group work
- NHS and Current Affairs – Things you should know
- MMI stations – Lateral thinking & breaking bad news
Practice
Putting Your Learning Into Practice
This is where the real fun begins! We’ll give a volunteer a mock interview in front of the rest of the class whilst they watch and critique. The volunteer can (and should) use the knowledge they gained in the morning to give themselves an advantage, and after the interview, both the instructors and the other students will give them constructive feedback about what they did wonderfully and what could be improved.
Unfortunately we can’t guarantee everyone a mock interview.
