How to prepare for medical school interviews?

The most important thing when it comes to preparing for medical school interviews is getting lots of practise as speaking about yourself to people. You must feel confident at selling yourself and explain to others why you'd make a good, successful medical student.Frequent questions always come up in interviews like: 'what skills do you have which would make you a good doctor? Describ a time when you showed empathy etc. You must think about questions like this and think what you might say to an interviewer but do not prepare answers in advance as it will sound over-rehearsed and fake. Make sure to look at the specific universities' guidelines on their interview system as all universities do it slightly differently- find out the qualities they are looking for. Be confident when speaking, using good and appropriate language.
