Who designs the stations on the dentistry MMI circuit day?
🩺 Dr Abdul Mannan designs the MMI circuits with input from practising NHS dentists.
As well as being a top doctor, he is an experienced medical school undergraduate tutor and a supervisor for junior doctors. All our stations are up to date and accurately reflect the actual interview.
📚 We do not simply use past questions but also our experience of undergraduate medical education and the NHS to try and predict what students will be assessed on this year.
⚠️ It is Setting up a realistic mock MMI interview at home or school is challenging. Our MMI interview circuits are calibrated at the correct level and are identical to the process followed in many UK medical and dental schools.
🔎 We ask candidates as part of the booking process what dental schools the applicant is applying for. Remember you have a choice of 4. We tailor the circuits to reflect the intention of the candidates.
How should I prepare for my dentistry MMI circuit day?
🏆 We recommend all students attend our Dental School Interview Course before sitting an MMI circuit so you have the necessary knowledge and skills to sit the interview. We do not recommend you sit the dentistry mock exam MMI circuit without preparing, as you would with any exam.
👉 Not all students have relatives in the medical or dental profession whom they can practice with, and not all doctors are trained in medical education. We can fill this gap for you.
🔎 Your feedback is unbiased, accurate and non-judgemental. Our examiners are not there to be nice to you. We will tell you how to do things right if you are going wrong.
📽 We include role-play and practical stations. We will bring all our equipment and actors to the exam room for in-person circuits.
🔎 We are open and transparent in what we offer. We have uploaded testimonials from previous students and photos from prior mock MMI interview circuits that we have held (pre-coronavirus pandemic).
