  • Summary

    A breakdown of the mark schemes of each station for the core surgical training interview, along with new data on the distribution of scores at interview. We then provide a thorough guide for the practice methods we used with each other to top the interview process. We cover common questions like which interview time and date to book, whether or not to do practice courses, and which other resources we found most helpful.

  • Written by the candidates who ranked first and second nationally in the 2023 Core Surgical Training (CST) application process, this book is a definitive guide to success in the CST interview. This book takes candidates through the CST interview process, covering all of the clinical, ethical, and leadership components that an applicant can expect to be tested on. Over 55 clinical and ethics-based cases and hundreds of interview questions are used as part of a spiral curriculum that covers common stations and helps to build a replicable approach to each station. It also covers important aspects of communication and presentation skills. The authors share their tips and tricks for scoring highly, helping candidates to maximise their chances and stand out in a highly competitive field. This book will be an invaluable resource for foundation-year doctors and international medical graduates preparing to apply for CST.
