Interviews

We support doctors at all stages of their career with interview preparation - from the intern application process, interviews for accredited training positions and colleges, through to interviews for senior leadership positions. Interviewing is a skill area you can build competence in through active planning, preparation and practice.  

The demand from our members for support with interview preparation has grown significantly over the last few years. To support this we have created a practice interview consult (40 minutes in duration), as well as a variety of training programs which consist of three coaching consults engaged in over a 2-4 week period.  

The programs are designed to build skills, competence and confidence through a combination of targeted education & development, interview practice and active coaching, resources and simulated interviews.
