About this course
OptimiseGastro is a comprehensive interview preparation course for Gastroenterology ST4 speciality training recruitment. The course combines multiple learning resources and practice materials to prepare doctors for the virtual interview.
The course covers the full breadth of interview preparation through four core modules:
- Knowledge Updates — essential facts and figures required for the interview
- Tips & Tricks — insights and strategies from highly-ranked previous candidates
- Mock Station Answer/Feedback videos — worked examples on common interview topics
- Practice Vignettes — realistic clinical scenarios to test your knowledge
- Podcasts — additional learning resources for on-the-go study
- Application Form Workshop — guidance on crafting a competitive application
Learners also gain access to a full Mock Circuit with a Registrar to simulate the real interview experience before your own recruitment day.
The 2026 course has been expanded to include more resources at the same price as previous years. OptimisedInterviews are run by doctors who have themselves succeeded in competitive interviews, and the course draws on their real experience alongside feedback from recent successful candidates. Previous attendees report strong outcomes: many have ranked in the top positions nationally, with several securing their first-choice deanery posts.
