Succeed in your medical school interview : stand out from the crowd and get into your chosen medical school
\"After completing the medical school application comes the last and often most challenging aspect of the school selection process: the interview. Notoriously hard to prepare for, it's difficult to know what questions might be asked and how to answer them.Extensively revised, How to Succeed In Your Medical School Interview de-mystifies the interview process. It provides a systematic and methodical process which enables the interviewee to mine information from examiners, while demonstrating academic ability. Full of practice questions and free downloadable podcasts of mock interviews, this book offers tips on preparation, presentation, and most importantly, what to say. The most significant addition to the book covers the multiple mini-interview system, which schools are beginning to use instead of the formal, fixed panel interview. This new system is made up of short \"stations\" ranging from 3-10 minutes, with a specific goal and a separate interviewer. The format can be a conventional interview question, a role play, linguistic skill test, writing exercise, or another challenge. The author has also added more graph-and-table data interpretation questions to the Oxbridge interview section and updated discussion material to include the current \"hot topics\" in medicine, such as e-cigarettes, medical ethics, and the US patent ban on genes. \"-- Provided by publisher.

What Happens When Interviewers Ask Repeated Questions in Forensic Interviews with Children Alleging Abuse?
This study was designed to explore 1) the ways in which interviewers refocus alleged victims of abuse on their previous responses and 2) how children responded when they were refocused on their previous responses. Transcripts of 37 forensic interviews conducted by British police officers trained using the best practices spelled out in the
Memorandum of Good Practice
were examined. The instances in which interviewers asked repeated questions were isolated and coded into categories with respect to the
reasons
why interviewers needed to ask the repeated question (i.e., there was no apparent reason, to challenge a child’s response, clarification, no answer the first time the question was asked, digression, or compound question). The children’s
responses
to the repeated questions were further categorised into mutually exclusive categories (i.e., elaboration, repetition, contradiction, or no answer). On average interviewers asked children 8 repeated questions per interview. Most of the time interviewers asked repeated questions to challenge a previous response (62%), but they were also sometimes asked for no apparent reason (20%). Children repeated previous responses or elaborated on a previous response 81% of the time and contradicted themselves 7% of the time when re-asked the same question. We conclude that children did not appear unduly pressured to change their answers, and, more importantly, did not contradict themselves when interviewers attempted to refocus them on particular responses.

Regulation in Action
This incisive study shows that \"regulation\", against which many have warned but which some psychotherapists still imagine to be a solution to all their ills, is actually already here. The author traces her way through this apparatus, and makes a compelling case for taking the HPC seriously as a machine that incarnates the very kind of unhealthy practice it pretends to set itself against.'- Professor Ian Parker, Manchester Metropolitan University'. If you want to know about the reality of state regulation, how it works in practice - as opposed to what people say about it - you should read this book. A shocking and unsettling account.'- Paul Gordon, author of The Hope of Therapy and former chair of the Philadelphia Association'. Do not let the simplicity of this lucid account of a difficult problem deceive you. 'This book investigates the claim that regulation by agencies of State is one of the prerequisites for improving professional practice. It displays how the underlying administrative interests of such bureaucracies are detrimental to the structure of professional communities.
