Practise every scenario
MedMock covers the stations you will face in the Clinical Neurophysiology ST3 interview. Rehearse each one until it feels routine.
Station 1 – Question 1 – Clinical Scenario
A written clinical scenario of two or three sentences to review for a short while, then questions on it for the rest of the station: the steps you would take, possible treatments, further information and how you would communicate with those involved. Communication is marked separately.
Station 2
Question 1 (about 5 minutes): a short written ethical scenario to review, then discussion of its moral, ethical and legal issues. Question 2 (about 10 minutes): your suitability for and commitment to training in clinical neurophysiology, expanding on your application form.

Two questions from the topics that come up most in MedMock's Clinical Neurophysiology (ST3) bank.
“A 9-year-old with benign rolandic epilepsy (BECTS) presenting with nocturnal hemifacial focal seizures. Discuss EEG findings and prognosis.”
“A patient asks you to leave an epileptiform finding out of their EEG report so that they can keep driving. What are the issues and how would you handle it? Then: what have you done to test your commitment to clinical neurophysiology?”
