CST Interview

Effective preparation focuses on two areas: Knowledge and Delivery. The Core Surgical interview is knowledge-intensive. If you don’t have the knowledge, it doesn’t matter how polished 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 trainee. This is where we come in…

If you’ve spoken to current CST trainees about how they prepared for their interview, you’ve probably already heard about our question bank. We are proud to have developed over 40 carefully crafted scenarios that mirror the interview. We’ve been doing this for a while now and know how important it is for the question bank to be up-to-date. Each year, our high-scoring editors make changes to the question bank to ensure it reflects the most recent interviews. Our team has secured some of the most competitive core surgical posts in previous rounds, and we want to help you do the same!

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