Ophthalmology Interview

For 2024, the interview consists of two components, each lasting 10 minutes, with the total duration of approximately 45 minutes. We have updated our question bank to reflect these changes.

Ophthalmology ST1 is becoming increasingly competitive each year, especially with the removal of ST3 level recruitment, and we anticipate this trend will continue. In 2023, there were nearly 10 applicants for every available position.

The highest-scoring 300 candidates from the MSRA will be invited to submit their evidence folder, and those who achieve a score of 40% or above will be called for an interview.

To secure a top position, it’s essential to prepare for your interview just as you would for your exams.

So, how do you prepare for your interview?
Effective preparation centres on two key areas: Knowledge and Delivery.

The Ophthalmology ST1 interview is knowledge-intensive. Without the necessary knowledge, even the most polished delivery won’t earn you marks.

Conversely, you may possess consultant-level knowledge, but if you can’t convey it effectively, all your preparation may go to waste!

This is your chance to illustrate why you would excel as an Ophthalmology trainee.

This is where we come in… We take pride in having developed 30 carefully crafted scenarios that closely mirror the interview, designed to help you prepare and maximize your chances of landing your ideal job. Our team understands the importance of an up-to-date question bank, and each year, our high-scoring editors revise it to reflect the most recent interview trends. Our team has successfully secured some of the most competitive training positions in prior rounds, and we are dedicated to helping you achieve the same!

Best of all, our content is presented in an easy-to-understand format on a platform that is accessible anywhere. Why have we designed it this way?
When preparing for specialty interviews, we found it challenging to obtain accurate and helpful advice. Recruitment websites offer limited information, and while consulting with previous interviewees can be beneficial, it often led to more anxiety rather than effective preparation.

Since then, we have sifted through various resources—both good and bad—so you don’t have to. Our high-scoring core trainees have compiled everything you need into one convenient location: the Medibuddy Online Ophthalmology ST1 Training Interview Question Bank.
