Interview perubatan USM dan UniSZA 2017/2018

Assalamualaikum and hi peeps..Jadi harini aku nk cerita skit pasal medical school interview yang aku pergi ..Firstly ,aku berasa sangat bersyukur kerana ditawarkan interview ni sbb ad kawan aku yg tak dapat pon interview perubatan walaupun pointer diorang okay sangat.Pesanan aku kalau dah dapat tu pergi je smua jangan pilih2 nanti menyesal tak sudah.Okay, ill start with UniSZA first since this is my first medical school interview.The details are below..
1.UniSZA(Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin) MBBS interview

Slip kehadiran iv make sure print or they wont let you to undergo the iv ..

Memandangkan aku dduk terengganu and tempat aku iv tu just 5 minutes je dari umah aku so aku x de la tempah hotel ke ape ke.But for those yg datang dari jauh or bukan dari terengganu aku suggest korang dduk dekat primula hotel since hotel tu yang paling dekat dengan UniSZA kampus kota ni...
I arrived early ,40 minutes before the registration yet i still got no 19 for the interview session...pfft.My piece of advice:came early if you wanted your session to end quickly...Arrange your certs according to the sequence in the iv slip .Bring along your original certs.They will flip through those certs during your interview..After that all you got to do is wait wait and wait to be call(they will call you using the numbers that they give).After being called they will check your certs and coppies of certs and personal documents that they wanted make sure all of them are CERTIFIED .After that you will be taken to a lecture hall to sit for an aptitude test .The test last for 10 minutes or less.Then you will be taken to a quarantine room .Here you will wait for your interview session.Again they will call your number according to the sequence and Yes WAIT again here...hahahah..After your number has been called you will be taken to the interview room.Inside,you will be greeted by 2 interviewers(a male and a female). It is a face to face interview...The interviewers are so nice ..I will only list the questions asked for further details or answers you can email me or ask me in the comment section.
1.Tell me about yourself
2.why medicine
3.who is the Dr from UniSZa that you know
4.what are your hobbies..i stated reading then they asked what is the title of the book .then they will ask details about the book(make sure you really know about the book).what book do you read recently..Tell us about the book and what did you learn from it
5.My views on the aurat of muslims during labour.They assume that the women insisted that she don't want me to help with the labour since i was a male..Assume there are no other female doctors there..
6.What are the qualities that a doctor should have and do you have them
7.Did you apply to other universities for this course.where? why?.(make sure you have a good reason for this )
8.Did you put UniSZA as your first choice or your third choice..why??.(Be honest)
9.Why UniSZA.
10.Qualities that you have but others don't
11.Involvement during school...better if it is related to the course.(eg : i joined pbsm, there i learn.......).They will also ask you your accheivement in sports ..
12.Can your family afford your expenses in medical school.If not what are other options you have?
13.Situation:You are now a medical student with a full sponsorship from your parents.Most of your friends have receive scholarships from JPA and MARA.They changed phones,buy new clothes,eat fancy foods and do a lot of shopping.How would you adress this situation.
The interview lasts for 30 minutes++ .I imagined that it would be horrible but looking back i think i did just fine..I searched in the internet for UniSZA interview mbbs but i didnt find any.So i think by posting this i could help my juniors to ace in their iv for UniSZA..okay that is all about UniSZA ..

2.USM(Universiti Sains Malaysia ) MD interview session.

The iv was held at Pusat pengajian Perubatan HUSM.Came early because finding the place is not easy to find the place since it is literally situated in the hospital area..In USM they use the MMI(multiple mini interview) system .As expected from one of the best universities for medicine they will just pick the ones who are the best among the best.They are searching for the Jack of all trades and not just the ones who are good in studying.I must say getting 4 flat during your foundation/matrix /STPM and others won't affect much on your performance since they won't even flip through your certificate file during the MMI session.Yeahh again the typical medical school iv you have to WAIT WAIT and WAIT.Precisely on 12:30 noon they ask us to que up because they need to check our certs and documents.(fyi:they won't be taking your documents so you can just keep them after they check).The session start barely at 1:30 pm since they give us some time to perform our zuhur prayer .We are taken into a room and was brief by two doctors on how the MMI USM is conducted.We are given nametags and our route for the MMI .Then we are taken into a ward and facing the ward are rooms used for the interviews..

station 4-Discuss with the panel on what are you going to do after your HO(The iver did ask about Ho system and specialisation..It is important for you to know how many years are you spending for your post in Ho and how many years in specialisation .When talking about specialisation don't be too specific since you didn't undergo any training yet in the specialisation that you wanted.For instance ,i said paediatric since you can subspecialised in many other principles related to paeds eg:cardiologist paed,you can say internal medicine etc..)(Answer in english only)

Ivers might ask you questions regarding the answers that you give be prepare for any possibilities.

Extra session:
20 minutes session of making presentation
topic: food supliment(Answer in Bm only ).You just have to prepare the materials for the presentation not to worry they wont ask you to present in fronth of them.Basically they just wanted to see how you work in groups.Just make sure you are getting enggage in your group and you are able to discuss well in groups .They will observe you during the session.

After finishing the group session you will be taken into a room to take  an aptitude test.im not quite sure whether it will affect your application or not..but be honest.

Tips or advice :
1.Prepare your answers and prepare them well its better to prepare than to be sorry at the end of the day
2.Be confident but don't get over confident ivers don't like students who thinks they are the best in anything they do.
3.Be humble and avoid rudeness in anyway since you are applying for a medical course ..They sure wanted you to be able to work well in the community.
4.Show symphaty and emphaty /Think wisely and logically .
5.always smile and be polite..Knock the door before entering.Greet them with a wide smile and shake their hands.Say thank you after you have finished your session.
6.Avoid nervousness .Of course we are nervous because it is our future but you got to think rationally when you are calm since less adrenaline is released.This can help you to avoid silly and nonsense answers.Everyone has their own way of getting rid of you nervousness make sure you find yours..
7.Practice to talk bilangually since bm and bi are two vital language used during iv.It is a bonus for you if you can speak other language.

I think thats all ive got to tell you.Make sure you do well in all iv you got since you dont know where are you going to undergo your tertiary education..This is just my small contribution for medical students to be who are looking for ways to excell in interviews and overview of medical schools system in choosing their students.Feel free to ask if you have any question or questions..

Extra:There are my friends who got UM and UKM iv.UM is MMI UKM is face to face .If you wanted to know more you can just email me so that i can ask them about it.I can't post it since it is not my personal views an since i didn't know their system..
