What the practice gives you
We work through a wide range of this cycle's topics, not every topic that exists. That is on purpose. Around 100 questions across ten sessions builds the habit of working through an unfamiliar topic out loud, in the time you are given.
1Name the issue
Say what the question is really about in one sentence.
2Weigh both sides
Set out the arguments and who is affected, patients included.
3Give your view
Land on a clear answer and explain why you hold it.
4Test your view
Say what would change your mind, and where you would still push back.
So when an interviewer raises something you have not read about, you know exactly what to do with it. You have done it many times before, out loud, with feedback.
Meet your tutors
Your sessions are led by a small team: a resident doctor and senior medical students who teach our interview courses and 1-to-1 coaching all season.

“After the Interview Masterclass in London I had a really clear structure to practice with. It made me far more confident and helped me get three offers - definitely would recommend.”Oli Grantley, 2-day Interview Masterclass. A review of another MedicHut interview service, not this course.

Hot Topics sits between learning the basics and testing yourself under real conditions.

Medical schools often ask about ethics, the NHS and recent news. These questions catch students out because there is no single right answer and the facts keep changing.
Each session explores its topics through around 10 different practice interview questions. We explain the key facts and consider different arguments, patient perspectives and ethical decisions. Answer out loud or in the chat, hear other students' reasoning and use the feedback to make your answers more detailed and balanced.

2-day Interview Masterclass

Namitha Chungath
Interview tutoring and mocks
“1-to-1 interview tutoring with two tutors per university meant wider coverage and proper university-specific prep (not generic). Written feedback after each mock - offers from both universities I interviewed at.”
Jemima Stalker
2-day Interview Masterclass
“Splitting the 2-day Interview Masterclass over two weeks let me actually practice between sessions. The MMI mirrored my real interviews almost exactly. Stats weren't exceptional, but the prep got me 4/4 offers.”
Asal Shahed
Premium Package
“MedicHut's Premium Package support was exceptional and enabled me to receive 3/3 offers from Imperial, UCL and Leeds. The 1-to-1 lessons for interview prep were my favourite.”
