I might be over exaggerating, but the quality of your answers and the way you helps me prepare for the MMI or UCAT. Keep it up mam, we need more doctors like you.
Hi Emil, your videos are so helpful as always! I had a question about honesty/ethical dilemma type questions. For example on the Medentry question bank there was a question like 'Is it ever appropriate to lie on behalf of a friend' e.g. signing their name on a tutorial roll when they aren't there. My initial response would be no because that's a breach of integrity, which is really important in medicine. But at the same time, would interviewers want me to be completely honest and admit that sometimes, telling 'white lies' or covering for a friend is basically unavoidable? How open should we be?
Hey Emil, your videos are very helpful, thank you for your work. However, I noticed that you have covered about 95% of everything regarding the MMI, but have not ever made any videos about collaboration stations. These stations are explicitly listed in McMaster's instructions manual (the school that created the MMI) and consists of you basically explaining someone how to do a task, such as how to tie a shoe, how to draw a certain picture or diagram, origami, and so on. Could you please make a video about this and how you would approach it with an example (such as showing how you would explain how to tie a shoe for instance)? I would really appreciate it!
Hi, I live in Australia, where there aren't any collaboration stations at any universities that I've heard of, which is why I haven't done a video on them. I'm not very familiar on them, but my overall strategy would be to break the task up into small, intelligible pieces, then take snapshots at various points to ensure that the person participating has made correct progress. For example, this could be asking, "do you see a loop in your right hand and a cross over in the middle of your shoe?" while answering the question. Sorry for the late reply, hope this answers your question
Hi Emil! Thanks for the interview tips :) With these panel-style questions, how do you effectively sum the anecdote up, provide a reflection and link it to the purpose of the question? Also, with some panel-style questions, how can you know their purpose? For example, "What are your 3 favourite movies?" With these questions, they seem like a trap - do you just list the movies and explain why you like them, or do you have to make some links to medicine/sell yourself even in seemingly mundane topics?
Hi Chaewon! I would definitely recommend you trying to sell yourself in these questions. Often what you like about others are the qualities that you want to see in yourself. With the movie question, a good answer might involve explaining that you like the main character because of X, and that's something you strive to be. You can also comment of the cinematography of a movie and say you like it because it helps you appreciate beauty in the world around you. These answers reveal quite a bit about you as a person. Hope that helps!

were your answers spontaneous or prepared beforehand?
