Reflective practice is an invaluable tool for medical trainees. Here’s how it can boost your interview performance:

  1. Identify Strengths and Weaknesses: Regular reflection helps you recognise areas of strength to highlight in interviews and weaknesses to improve upon.

  2. Learn from Past Experiences: Reflect on challenging situations you’ve encountered in clinical practice. Consider what you learned and how you’d approach similar scenarios in the future.

  3. Develop Insight: Interviewers value candidates who demonstrate insight into their actions. Reflective practice showcases your ability to self-assess and grow.

  4. Structure Your Responses: Use reflective practice to analyse clinical cases or projects and structure responses with clear takeaways.

  5. Showcase Growth: Be prepared to discuss how reflection has improved your practice. For example, “After realising I needed to improve my time management, I implemented new strategies and saw a marked improvement in efficiency.”

Integrating reflective practice into your preparation not only strengthens your answers but also demonstrates your commitment to lifelong learning—a quality highly valued in the medical profession.
