CT / ST Interview Preparation

Our CT / ST Interview Course is designed to provide you with the tools and resources to prepare far more effectively for your forthcoming interview. At the outset it is important to recognise that your ST interview will comprise of a series of conversations, the aim of which is to determine, firstly, if you are competent and qualified to carry out the duties of the position on offer, and secondly, if you are the most suitable doctor for this programme out of all the qualified and competent doctors who have also applied for this specialist post.

It may indeed be that you are a very skilled, highly qualified doctor who has the ability to build excellent relationships with patients and is well regarded by all your colleagues. However, if you are unable to perform effectively in an interview setting and get this across it is unlikely that you will be allocated a specialist training programme, particularly your first-choice post. Although most doctors do invest considerable time and effort in, for example, obtaining necessary higher professional qualifications, it is a fact that many doctors simply do not spend sufficient time preparing for their next job interview, to their own disadvantage.

Features of our CPD accredited course include:

·         Mock interview stations equivalent to the four stations you can expect to face at your ST interview: Research & Audit, Portfolio, Clinical Simulation, and Presentation – and coaching for each

·         A full mock interview at each of the four stations followed by extensive feedback for each by our CT / ST selection experts

·         Improving your interview technique through easily applicable interview techniques – learn how to build rapport with the ST selection panel and understand the significance behind body language and non-verbal communication

·         Understanding your strengths and weaknesses, and how to discuss both

·         Learning how use every ST question you are asked as a way of selling yourself and your abilities
