iCanMed Webinar: Introducing the UCAT, Interview & Medical Admissions Process [Free]

4.30–6.30pm, Tuesday 20 October 20

Register now  

About

This webinar helps students to get exposure to the selection process and its competitiveness so that they can plan their coming years more strategically and realistically.

Michael Tsai, iCanMed's co-founder, will spend two hours walking through everything you need to know to understand what it takes to 'gain entry' into medicine.

There will be a heavy emphasis on the importance and mechanics of the UCAT (along with practice questions and live-question dissections). Michael will introduce the interview (specifically on its purpose, exemplar questions and scoring process), and add much-needed clarity around the selection process for local and interstate medical schools.

Approximately 1.5 hours will be spent on UCAT and 30 minutes on the interview and selection criteria for medical and dental schools. The webinar will be highly-interactive for attendees to gain maximum awareness and benefits.
