Combined Infection Training ST3 is a highly competitive specialty, with around four applicants for every post in recent years, making thorough preparation essential. The interview assesses your performance in clinical scenarios, your presentation and communication skills, and your overall suitability for the Combined Infection Training ST3 programme.
Effective preparation focuses on two areas: Knowledge and Delivery.
The Combined Infection Training ST3 interview requires both a solid grasp of knowledge and the ability to communicate it clearly.
Even with a strong understanding, answers that are poorly delivered won’t score well, while confident delivery without accurate content will also fall short.
Think of the interview as your chance to demonstrate both your expertise and your commitment to a career in Combined Infection Training ST3.
