CST Interview Question Bank

The CST pathway is a two-year programme that most doctors must complete before pursuing ST3-level surgical specialty training. The interview component accounts for 60% of your total score (alongside MSRA 10% and portfolio 30%) and consists of two 10-minute stations: a management station and a clinical station. This Qbank is specifically designed to help you master both stations through exposure to realistic scenarios and gold-standard model answers.

The course emphasises structured frameworks and patterns that top-performing candidates use to tackle any question variation. By working through the scenarios and studying the model answer videos, you learn not just specific answers but the underlying logic and communication strategies that interviewers are looking for. The materials are regularly updated and reflect genuine interview questions and scenarios that candidates have faced, giving you insight into what to expect and how to respond effectively.
