Day 1 Topics
Day 1 of our Dentistry Interview Course is jam-packed with interactive seminars covering the following topics:
Did you know there’s a correct way to introduce yourself in dental school interviews? Don’t worry, we’ll help you perfect your interview introductions!
Despite having a solid foundation on a subject, students can miss out on scoring well on interview questions due to their answers lacking proper technique and structure. Our teachers will guide you to perfecting your structure so you don’t end out waffling during your interviews. We’ll have some students come up and demonstrate for the group as well – this can be nerve-wracking but it’s incredibly beneficial, and you’ll leave our course ready to impress your interviewers!
At times, it can be difficult to decipher what the interviewer is asking, and students often answer a different question than the interviewer intended. Our Dentistry Interview Course covers common “buzzwords” that will help you identify what a question means each time.
The way you communicate verbally and non-verbally is crucial when it comes to dental school interviews. In our live course, we’ll teach you the skillsets needed to help you establish the communication skills expected of a dental student and ensure that all of your best qualities shine through.
Our course covers everything you’ll need to know about dental ethics and will equip you to continue studying in your own time if you wish.
We’ll brief you on all of the current hot topics in dentistry, saving you time from excessively going through news articles. We’ll also send you off with a reading list, as recent news often comes up in interviews.
If you really want to impress your interviewers with your dedication to the field, you’ll need to know about the NHS. Our Dentistry Interview Course will teach you everything you need to know about the NHS and how it runs.
Many MMI and interview questions are commonly repeated in interviews, though they’re occasionally worded differently. We’ll ensure you’re well prepared for all of these!

Day 2
Putting what you’ve learned to practice
Most students do great until it’s time to put what they’ve learned to practice – this is why we heavily focus on the practical elements of dentistry interviews by conducting a realistic simulated MMI circuit on Day 2 of our course. The MMI circuit allows you the rare opportunity to practice different interview stations in real time, and is examined by interviewers and actors who are all medical/dental students and doctors, providing you with the most authentic experience to prepare you for your dentistry MMI/interview(s). This is a learning experience – we don’t expect you to be perfect at this stage, but to use this experience to improve your skills. Each station is accompanied by carefully curated feedback that will help you fine tune your interview skills.
MMI circuits will likely cover the following station types, but these may vary:
- ESSAY QUESTION
- ROLEPLAY
- COMMON QUESTION
- SITUATIONAL JUDGEMENT
- ETHICS
- PERSONAL STATEMENT
- UNCOMMON/”WEIRD” QUESTION
- GDC QUESTION
All of our students will be given a copy of our interview ebook, full of insightful material and dentistry and medicine interview/MMI practice questions. You’ll also receive a very warm welcome to the MedicHut Family!
The majority of our live courses are held online through Zoom. The MedicHut Team has worked endlessly to provide our students with the finest online learning environment to match our in-person courses. Our online courses have received excellent feedback since their launch. If you have any questions about how this class will run online, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Excellent; very helpful!!! they have a very friendly team that genuinely want you to succeed. The MMI masterclass gives all the information you need. they try to fit in everything they can and then they’ll send you useful links for the topics they couldn’t cover. So 100% would recommend the course 🙂
Jain
The MedicHut interview course was very useful. They taught you many structures and how to use them so when you carried out your MMI circuit you could apply them. The interviewers also give very detailed feedback which was very useful. I would highly recommend this to a friend
Tom G
Great course with an awesome mock MMI circuit that was really insightful in to how I reacted in an actual interview. The MMI course really was the cherry on the cake of an amazing course, would 100% recommend to anyone interested in doing MMIs. Amazing day, great value for money!
Patrycja
I found the session extremely helpful! It covered a whole depth of topics and touched into everything from ethics to situational judgment and personality based questions. The feedback was amazing and really analysed what went well and what could’ve been improved in great detail. I definitely feel a lot more confident for my real interview, which I was very stressed about prior. Thank you so much!
Sandra Boles
Very useful! Would certainly recommend for med school interview prep. The instructors are extremely friendly, and the webinar was interactive, and I had no questions at the end!
Mishaal
I took part in 1to1 tutoring as well as part of the MMI circuit and both were great. The tutors are all amazing. They’re extremely helpful and provided really detailed feedback on how I could improve and personalized lessons and in my experience are a lot more helpful and affordable than other companies. They genuinely want to help you get into medical school. Will 100% recommend them to anyone.
Zainab Y
This was a wonderful experience which really gave me an insight into what a real medicine interview will be like. It was incredibly interactive and very useful for helping me identify my weaknesses, as well as providing solutions to these. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who has an upcoming interview or wants an idea of how to approach particular questions.
Rocster
The experience was great! It was very interactive and the doctors and medical schools were engaged with us the whole time. The techniques that were taught are amazing and the final MMIs and Group Discussions with feedback make the whole experience worthwhile.
Jhanvee Patel
Interview MMI course is great, it’s a very interactive session so you can get the most out of the session, it’s not like they just talk to you like a lecture. And Iwould definitely recommend it to everyone 🙂
Rithika
The course was so useful as it outlines the structure of the answer for interview question, covered ethics, structure of NHS, History of NHS and current hot topics. The mock MMI interviews stimulated the experience so well and helped me feel more prepared. Such great value for money!
