Maximise your performance at the 2025 UK Internal Medicine interview

Internal Medicine Training (IMT) is highly competitive. In the 2024 application cycle, there were 6273 applicants for 1698 posts. In 2023, it was 4406 applicants to 1572 posts; nearly 2000 more applicants, yet only 126 more posts.

It goes without saying, IMT gets more and more competitive each year.

You’ve completed your self-assessment and been invited to interview, and now it is time to prepare. To score well and get your first choice job, you need to prepare for the interview like you would your exams.

So how do I prepare for my interview?

Effective preparation focuses on two areas: Knowledge and Delivery.

The Internal Medicine Training interview is knowledge-intensive. If you don’t have the knowledge, it doesn’t matter how slick your delivery is, you won’t get the marks.

Equally, you might have consultant level knowledge, but if you don’t deliver it well, all those hours preparing will be for nothing!

This is your opportunity to demonstrate why you would make a good IMT trainee.

The Medibuddy Online 2025 IMT Interview Question Bank

If you’ve spoken to current IMT trainees about how they prepared for their interview, you’ve probably already heard about our question bank.

Best of all, we’ve presented it in an easy to understand format, on a platform that you can access anywhere.

What will I learn from the Internal Medicine Online Interview Question Bank?

The 2025 interview is broken down into three questions across two stations; application and suitability for IMT, an ethical, professionalism and governance question, and a clinical scenario and patient handover, and we have presented our questions exactly like they appear in the interview.

Why have we done this?

When we were preparing for our specialty interviews, getting accurate and helpful advice felt near impossible. The recruitment websites only provide you with so much information, and whilst asking those who have done the interview is useful, sometimes all it did was make us more nervous, instead of actually helping us to prepare.

Since then, we have been filtering through all the good and bad resources, so you don’t have to, and our high-scoring core trainees, have put it all together in one place, the Medibuddy Online Internal Medicine Training Interview Question Bank.
