Definitely go in with an authentic desire and genuine responses. Know what's happening in the world around you, and current affairs outside of the health sector.
If you only know a little about the topic, express what you know. If you don't know, don't pretend you do
. My opinion is that medical students should know their limitations - perhaps that is why some interviewees get curve-ball questions. Or perhaps it's to see how you react when faced with uncertainty?
I think it'd be good to read up on articles, books etc. when you have time. I've found "Cole's Medical Practice in New Zealand" to be quite a good concise read on what is required of doctors, cultural issues etc.
Oh and I think it'd be good to know yourself as well, as straightforward as it sounds. I mean have a think about how to would answer q's such as "tell me about yourself" or strengths/weaknesses, leadership experience, initiative, coping with stress/pressure. But I definitely don't advise writing down speech cards and rehearsing them
Hope it helps
