Low on Time? The 1-Hour Interview Game Plan for Busy Doctors

Introduction: The Juggling Act of Training

The life of a resident doctor is a constant balancing act. Between managing a busy clinical rota, studying for post-graduate exams, and navigating IMT applications, finding dedicated time for interview preparation can feel impossible.

Between all of this, you might find yourself with limited time to prepare for your interview, feeling the pressure of trying to score highly. At Medxstart, we understand that you need a high-impact, focused strategy that maximises your limited time to ensure you get the post you deserve.

The MedXstart IMT Interview Crash Course: 3 Pillars of Success

To help you succeed when you are short on time, our coaching focuses on three core pillars that provide the highest return on investment for your score:

  • Master the ‘How’: Structure Over Stress Instead of trying to memorise perfect answers for every possible question, we teach you frameworks to handle any station. Whether it is a clinical scenario or an ethical dilemma, having a "proper structure" ensures you stay calm and hit the marking criteria every time.

  • Turn CV Achievements into Compelling Narratives We help you review your CV and portfolio to identify your strongest achievements. We then work with you to turn those achievements into compelling narratives that demonstrate registrar-level thinking to the interview panel.

  • Refine Delivery with High-Impact Model Answers Knowing the information is only half the battle. We refine your delivery through high-impact model answers, focusing on your tone and confidence to ensure you sound like the top-tier candidate you are.

Real Results from Busy Applicants

Our crash course is designed specifically for doctors who are "time-poor" or want a comprehensive summary condensed into a one-hour session. Here is what one recent applicant had to say about their experience:

"Thank you so much!!! It was amazing honestly thank you so much. This was very helpful for me especially because I was so much focused on my MSRA & I didn’t have time to prep for the interview. I know what to focus on, how to approach stations and focus on proper structure only. I don’t have any time to waste because I only have 2/3 days to prepare for interview properly this was so so so helpful!"A Happy Medxstart User
