Interviews can be a stressful and uncertain time for many doctors, often marking key moments in their careers. Preparation is key, and we're here to help.

MDA National is hosting a complimentary five-part interview preparation webinar series designed to give you the skills and confidence to succeed from Resume, to Interview Day. You’ll gain insights into optimising your written application, interview techniques, learn how to navigate common pitfalls, and get practical training to tackle both standard and unexpected questions.

Led by Dr. Brooke Bullock, you’ll initially have the opportunity to consider how best to present yourself through a written application and following this each live session focuses on a key interview question commonly asked in medical interviews. You'll have the chance to ask questions, practice hear responses, and understand what high yield preparation looks like —helping you sharpen your skills and step into your next interview with confidence.
