Thank you Jade and Q. A really helpful chance for us to show whatthe interviews involve. And thanks to Shoomena and Patrick who gave a good example - with some deliberate errors as requested!!
I hold a Diploma in Medical Radiography with 3 years working experience.
I hold Alevel certificate where I did PCB/M & G.P ...I passed well. I'm from Uganda.
I seriously want to study medicine at Cambridge Medical school, how can I get there.
Dr Rob Ross Russell please I beg you guide me if possible help me with your watsup number and email address.
I'm humbled Sir.
Sir, I have a question. It will be great pleasure for me if you answer it.. Sir, is there any scholarship for bachelor of medicine in Cambridge medical school... I'm from Bangladesh..

I aint gonna lie, after memorising everything about the lung I would of smashed this question about the lung. :)
but its not about memorising the information sometimes, they can just keep probing you until you dont know the answer! then, they will assess your ability to think about the question on the spot :))
And you would have got a question on another organ I imagine, putting all that memorisation to no use.
Memorisation gets you nowhere. You need the basics, of course to have a conversation. It's all about how you think and how well you can communicate what you're thinking.
"would of"?
If you wonder why some with perfect A-levels don't get in to Oxbridge... Knowledge going in helps, it means you've read a lot, but they are testing your reasoning because of the style of teaching. You are learning on the spot going deeper and deeper into problems by reasoning not memorising. I did CS at Jesus College.
That was very nice medical conversation. I felt even if it was difficult for patrick, but Dr. ross made it as comfortable as possible.
Fantastic! Please keep these kind of videos coming, very helpful for those of us hoping to apply.
cookiemonster7061 More coming!
You can tell Dr Russell is a lovely person.
Some great whiskeys in the shelf. Dr Russell is very nice interviewer, encourages interviewers to relax and think though their answers. I have met great people at Oxford University insightful, intelligent and just good people to be with. ☺☺☺
Not sure about the comparative anatomy there is significant cranial movement of ribs during inspiration in the dog. Also you can get dogs presenting with ruptured diaphragm which are not picked up on clinical examination.
Quite knowledge able video
So very different from interviewing at USA medical schools. I interviewed at 10 medical schools including Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Vanderbilt. In order to be invited to interview, you need to have met a certain academic threshold which is based on grades and MCAT scores. The interview focuses on those intangible qualities that often missed on an application and less on displaying your ability to answer scientific questions. Excellence in scientific subjects is expected but there are other non scientific qualities that makes a well rounded physician. I believe exploration of life experiences can be just as pertinent to being a successful physician.
It's probably due to medicine in the US being only accessible after an undergraduate degree (usually), while in the UK most go straight into medicine from high school. It causes students to have varying scientific capabilities, which interviewers need to assess since predicted grades given by a teacher many not be entirely accurate. Even if people are made offers by the university, unlike in the US, most offers are conditional and people need to get really good grades on exams to be allowed to go, even if they miss it by half a grade they usually aren't allowed to attend.
The UK also has medical examinations called the BMAT and the UCAT which assess a students situtuational judgement skills, anaylsis, comprehesion etc similar to an IQ test but medicine based.
Oxbridge is known to have a 6 year medicial course where the first three years are purely acedemic and the last three years are clinical, while other universities usually do both throughout the course. Compared to other UK medicine courses, oxbridge particularly care about your scientific capabilities because they think that things like gaining work experience is an opportunity that many gain via connections and not a students own capabilities. Obviously gaining exposure, doing volunteer work etc they do like.
Also Cambridge usually has 3 interviews each 30 minutes. Usually one will ask you about your personal statement which you write about yourself, your hobbies, your extra-cuuriculars, who you are as a person etc.
To be honest, I think the way they interview and do their application process is very fair and is able to judge well enough if a very young student is going to be a good/successful physician. Being able to attend oxbridge requires a student to be bright and full of potential and that is what I think they are looking for when asking these questions.
there are multiple interviews per student for oxford and cambridge, each assessing different qualities. this one was not assessing prior knowledge but rather the ability to explore new ideas
Phrenic nerve innervation of the diaphragm too
But, the mechanism of breathing, the movement of intercostal muscle and diaphragm when you inhale and exhale, aren't they GCSE stuff??
Jason D same I was wondering why he was struggling with such an easy question, maybe he didn’t do biology?
@@chuavincent919 I think Cambridge requires a minimum of B or whatever in biology at GCSE level... And if its medicine that you're applying for, that will be A* in a level bio isn't it...
Jason D might not be gcse depending what spec you did, I got a 9 in biology but it’s not on the edexcel spec so I know next to nothing about it, AS levels may be the same case
They probably asked him to dumb down a bit, he’s a second year med student so he would know all that stuff by now, if he just gave perfect answers it wouldn’t be an accurate representation of the average interview they will get
Edexel definitely did not do this
very useful thank you
longevities 🙏👍
All I know about lungs is that a pneumothorax tube drain and operation hurts like billy heck and that oramorph in the circumstances is the best thing since sliced bread!! Also, my blood pressure dropped through the floor when my left lung collapsed, so there must be a firm link between heart, lungs and a stable blood pressure in the body. I also know that a pneumothorax x-ray is fascinating as the wind pipe, trachea, shifts across to one side, the heart enlarges and the diaphragm changes shape. Five of my ribs broke in an accident and two punctured and deflated my lung. Ribs protect the lungs, yes, as this student said, but in an accident, can act as daggers too. But don't think this personal experience and knowledge base would ace me a Cambridge interview somehow!!!!
would appreciate a mock interview from (DoS) at other colleges-Christ's in particular :)
Sorry we won’t be able to do that! We’ve just graduated from Peterhouse and were lucky enough to do these with the DoS there before we left. I’m sure there’ll be college specific info on the websites of each college. Good luck!
he could hav mentioned about the bucket handle movement of ribs 👀🤔
The ok,alright,ok,alright 😭
Very interesting but how can you judge whether the candidate will make a good doctor from this interview?
That’s not necessarily what they’re doing.
how he behaves under pressure is a crucial skill.
They’re not really trying to find out if you’re gonna be a good doctor but rather test your ability to think logically and see how you react when given a problems you don’t immediately know the answer to. That way they can evaluate or at least guess how you’re gonna do in that environment and if you’re going to be able do to good with their style of teaching
Thank you very much. That was enjoyable and intellectually stimulating.
Malgosia Fantastic, thanks 🙏
the same applies for international students right?
Interviews? - Yes. In some cases they can be done remotely
Ventral thoracic branches of the spinal nerves, dude!
Very easy interview
do they ask a level biology questions then ?
yh
Useful but simultaneously annoying , Oxford was relatively harder however I would have enjoyed these questions, I wish I applies to Cambridge
Scientific Revolutionary Ahh I see, How did things go?
Asclepium I got the offer haha, though I would say the four Oxford interviews were less scientific and more medically orientated -NHS topics or medical experimental design. Other than that both institutions are likewise good as each other and are outstanding medical schools.
Scientific Revolutionary Congratulations! Yeah there is variation even within colleges. Thanks 🙏
@@scientificrevolutionary1322 well done!! you got in! im considering applying to cambridge i think rather than oxford but is there a way i can contact you so we can have a proper convo regarding this matter? congratulations again!
@@TA-os2ru did u get in?
Really difficult to hear. Vivien
Was that example of a successful interview?
An example of how the interviewers are there to guide you through the interview. They want you to do well
Asclepium if you were to approximately gauge this on the interviewers report sheet, what would this score out of 10
E
"i geuss"
I kept cringing everytime he said that!
even I guess
@@dahirali3074same!!! 😂
This man doesn’t know his mechanics of breathing
