🎓 About Tess:
Tess completed her physiotherapy degree and worked for 7 years in tertiary hospitals in both Melbourne and Sydney before making the transition into medicine at 29! While preparing for med school, Tess had a hard time finding students like her, who may have already started a career and wanted to transition to medicine. In the hopes of helping others like her, she started a youtube channel to share her med school experience, which is really candid and super empowering for her predominantly female audience. Tess isn't a Halad to Health tutor but tutors GAMSAT privately.

📢 About Making Of An Incredible MD Podcast:
Making Of An Incredible MD is the podcast for aspiring medical professionals.
Last season we geared you up with a ton of different topics and ethical dilemmas to think about in the medical field ...and on this season of the podcast we’re taking you behind the scenes of LIVE MMI Mock Stations that we run for our students who are about to sit their med interviews.

🎓 About This Station:
Today on Station 14, we have another one of our University of Melbourne examiners, Chloe, running hybrid Professional Development & General Ethics Station with one of our aspiring med students, Keith.

This was done to GEMSAS timing of 1 min to reading time and then 8 mins response time.

Today the station Keith read was this:

One of your best friends is a popular high school teacher. She is very active on Facebook, and has been recently “friended” by many of her students. Through her newsfeed, she is made aware of illicit activities being engaged in by her students such as underage drug and alcohol use, engaging in sexual activities, and similar things. She is now asking you for advice on what to do, particularly because there is currently no formal school policy on reporting information discovered on social media about student activities outside of school hours.

🎓 About This Station:
Today on Station 13, we have another one of our University of Melbourne examiners, Emily, running the infamous ‘Why Med’ Station with one of our aspiring med students, Jessabel. 

Before we hit record, we give each student 3 mins to read the station and they have 8 mins to respond. 

Today the station Jessabel read was this:
Why do you want to study medicine? The examiner will ask you follow-up questions based on your response

🎓 About This Station:
Today on Station 12, we have another one of our University of Melbourne examiners, Sanji, running a Detech Station with one of our aspiring med students, Zayn.

This was one of Zayn’s first attempts and so he decided he did want his response recorded, so I’m just going to play the recording of Sanji giving feedback and hopefully you have enough context. Sanji goes through some general pointers at the beginning and end and if you’re specifically after some advice on how to approach Detech stations, skip to about the 5:00 mark.

Today the station that Zayn read was this:
Explain the term “virus” to a child prior to them getting a vaccination.

Follow Up questions: What makes COVID-19 a virus?
Why do some viruses lead to a pandemic when others don’t?
