How we keep our Question Banks up to date
The IMT interview changes from year to year, and the biggest fear for any candidate is getting to interview day and realising you've revised with a question bank that's totally outdated.
Updated for 2027 InterviewsThat's why we review and update every Question Bank twice a year, so you can rest assured you're revising with scenarios that are likely to come up. We do this in April after the previous year's interviews, and again in October when the new recruitment guidance is published.
For 2027, that process meant adding 18 new scenarios: 8 clinical and handover, 8 ethics and governance, and 2 communication.
Part 2 • Practise them live
The only interview resource where you can practise with other candidates from across the country
Our IMT Question Bank tells you exactly how to answer real interview scenarios. But how you practise with them will determine how many marks you score. Simply reading answers off a screen won't prepare you for the intense scrutiny you'll face in the interview. And only practising with the same few colleagues or friends limits the amount of feedback you'll get. Medibuddy gives you unique access to IMT candidates across the country, so you can learn from a variety of perspectives and hear a far wider range of feedback than your own circle could ever give you.
When you prepare in isolation, you're relying on your own interpretation of the interview process, which is one of the quickest ways to get found out on the day. Study Groups connect you with other doctors across the country who are also applying to IMT, so you can engage and network with people preparing for the same interview as you. Everyone brings different experience from different hospitals and deaneries, meaning you won't ever miss out on the key bits of information that could swing the interview in your favour.
Candidates who don't take part in mocks often struggle to adapt to the pressure of the interview. Your knowledge might be correct, but without convincing delivery the interviewers will score you poorly. The best way to improve your delivery is to take as many live mocks as possible, which is why we haven't put a limit on how many you can do. You can practise with other people in your study group, or, if no one you know is available, just join the waiting room, and we'll randomly match you with another IMT candidate each time. Take turns as both the interviewer and candidate on real Question Bank scenarios, so you can see exactly how other candidates perform in real time, while refining your own interview technique.
Preparing alone means you won't know how you're coming across during the interview. And preparing with the same few candidates means you'll miss opportunities to improve, which is why it's so important to get as many opinions as possible on your technique. With Medibuddy, you can record a mock and submit it for feedback from other candidates on the platform, so you receive a wider range of feedback and refine your answers with each person you practise with. Reviewing other people's mocks is just as valuable, as it shows you how strong candidates handle the same scenarios, which is one of the fastest ways to improve.

The interview
What to expect from the IMT interview
Internal Medicine Training is one of the most challenging recruitment processes of a physician's career, and it's only getting more competitive. In 2024, there were 6,273 applicants for 1,698 posts. By 2025, that had risen to 8,841 applicants for 1,677 posts, which is more than five candidates competing for every place.
The interview consists of two 11-minute stations and is marked by two interviewers. You'll also be assessed on your communication skills across both stations.
Station 1
Application, Suitability and Ethics
This station requires you to open with a two-minute presentation on the achievements most relevant to your application. You'll then be assessed on your suitability for IMT, before receiving an ethics, professionalism and governance question you don't see in advance.
Station 2
Clinical Scenario and Handover
A short clinical scenario is read to you at the start of the station, which you can take notes on. You'll then face 10 minutes of questions on investigations, diagnosis, and management, plus a 1-minute handover.
What the panel is looking for
The two stations cover seven scoring domains. Both interviewers mark each area from 1 to 5. To be considered for an offer, none of those marks can be a 1, no more than two can be 2s, and your raw score must reach at least 42 of 70.

How to prepare for the IMT interview
Start with the IMT Question Bank
Work through 90+ scenarios across both stations. Each scenario includes model answers from candidates who scored well in the 2026 interview. Start by reading how a strong answer is formed, then think about how you might deliver it.
Talk the hard ones through in Study Groups
Study groups are your biggest opportunity to network and connect with other candidates sitting the same interview as you. Everyone on the platform is in the same boat as you, so don't be scared to get involved and ask questions. After all, someone in your study group might just help you work through a scenario you've been struggling with.
Rehearse out loud in Live Mocks
Live mocks are where you begin to put everything you've learned into practice, and we know from experience that those who practise with a wide range of candidates usually do the best. So organise mocks with people from one of your study groups, or get matched with a random IMT candidate, then take turns as interviewer and candidate using real scenarios until answering out loud under pressure feels normal.
Get reviewed with Peer Feedback
Once you've recorded a mock, you can have other community members review it. This allows you to see how you come across to other people, and gives you time to refine your delivery as you revise, rather than being caught out on the day. Reviewing other people's mocks is just as crucial, as you can see how other candidates navigate the same scenarios as you.
Build the clinical depth behind your answers
Your initial delivery might be perfect. However, without a deep clinical understanding of the acute presentations, you won't be able to answer those tricky follow-up questions, and the interviewers won't give you the top marks. By adding the IMT Knowledge Course to your subscription, you'll gain access to 14 lectures that provide the in-depth knowledge needed to answer the most challenging curve-ball questions in the clinical station.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does the IMT interview involve?
The IMT interview has two stations, each lasting around 11 minutes, and is marked by two interviewers. Station 1 covers application and suitability as well as an ethics question, while Station 2 is a clinical scenario with a one-minute handover. Communication is scored in both.
How competitive is the IMT interview?
The IMT interview has a track record of becoming more competitive each year. In 2024, there were 6,273 applicants for 1,698 posts, and in 2025, there were 8,841 applicants for 1,677 posts.
Who writes the model answers?
High-scoring candidates who sat the IMT interview in 2026 and secured some of the most competitive jobs.
Can I practise with other candidates?
Yes. Every Medibuddy Revision Platform purchase gives you the opportunity to connect with other candidates through Study Groups, Live Mocks and Peer Feedback.
How do the Live Mocks work?
All you have to do is join the waiting room, and we match you with another IMT candidate. You can then take turns as an interviewer and candidate on real Question Bank scenarios, allowing you to gain experience answering out loud to other candidates before you ever sit in front of the panel.
What are Study Groups and how do they help?
Study groups are community forums for doctors across the country preparing for the same IMT interview. You can ask questions, share what you're struggling with, and compare how you'd approach a scenario.
Can I get feedback on my interview performance?
Yes. After you've recorded a mock, you can ask other members to review it, helping you identify which parts of your answer need fine-tuning.
How do you keep the IMT Question Bank up to date?
We review and update it twice a year. In April, once that year's interviews are done, and in October and November, once the new recruitment guidance is published, we run a full update against the new format and scoring. For 2027, that process meant adding 18 new scenarios.
Why use Medibuddy over other IMT question banks?
We've been preparing doctors for specialty interviews for 10 years, and the Question Bank is updated every year by editors who've recently scored well in this interview. That means the scenarios always reflect this year's interview. And it doesn't just stop at a question bank. Every purchase includes access to Study Groups, Live Mocks and Peer Feedback, so you can revise alongside candidates across the country.
What's the difference between the Question Bank and the Knowledge Course?
The Question Bank includes over 90 scenarios with model answers across both interview stations, alongside Study Groups, Live Mocks and Peer Feedback. The Knowledge Course builds the clinical understanding behind those answers, so you can reason through follow-up questioning. It contains 14 modules and over 8 hours of teaching from registrars who've recently completed IMT selection. They work best together, and the Bundle saves you £31.99 compared with buying both separately.
How long do I get access for?
Access runs for 12 months from the purchase date.
Start preparing for the IMT interview
The Revision Platform allows you to practise and refine over 90 interview scenarios with other candidates through Study Groups, Live Mocks and Peer Feedback.
Most candidates add the Knowledge Course, which contains 14 video lectures on the acute presentations the panel follows up on hardest. It's the natural add-on if you want to score top marks in the interview.
