Public health and prevention: Med school MMI interview practice
Prevention versus treatment, population versus individual. These stations reward thinking at both levels — and noticing that what works on a population can feel coercive to a person.

How to prepare for it out loud
Reading about public health and prevention and being asked about it are different skills. In the room you have to commit to an opening line, hold a line of thought while the interviewer probes, and keep talking sense under time. The fastest way to build that is repetition — being questioned on the topic often enough that the shape of a good answer becomes automatic.
- Lead with a frame. Open with the structure you'll use before the detail — it tells the interviewer you know where the answer is going, and it stops you drifting.
- Answer the question asked. A short answer that squarely lands the point is a good answer — the interviewer can always prompt for more. Padding is what gets marked down, not brevity.
- Practise the follow-ups. Marks are won and lost where the interviewer probes past your first answer. A practice station that keeps probing is worth more than re-reading the chapter.
Sit a public health and prevention station
Interview Station generates a fresh public health and preventionscenario, puts you in front of a spoken AI interviewer that asks one question at a time and probes where you're vague, then marks you to the standard with domain-by-domain comments. Your first 2 stations are free.
