The day, hour by hour
What the course covers
Every framework is taught for dental school interviews, MMI and panel alike, with live demonstrations rather than slides read aloud.
- 09:00
How interviews are actually scored
MMI and panel formats, station types, mark schemes and what interviewers are trained to reward, so every answer you build that day targets real marking criteria.
- 09:30
Your motivation story
Why medicine, why dentistry, why not the other: building a personal, specific answer that does not sound rehearsed, with live upgrades of weak answers.
- 10:10
Work experience that scores
The reflection framework that turns any placement, paid job or volunteering into interview marks, even if your work experience feels thin.
- 10:50Morning break· A 15-minute break to rest and grab a drink.
- 11:05
Medical ethics without the waffle
The four pillars, consent, capacity and confidentiality, applied to the scenario styles interviewers use, including how to structure an answer under pressure.
- 11:55
Communication and empathy stations
Role play method, breaking bad news and the listening skills stations that decide borderline candidates, demonstrated live.
- 12:40Lunch break· A 45-minute lunch break to switch off and recharge before the afternoon.
- 13:25
MMI station craft
Data interpretation, calculation, prioritisation and article stations: a repeatable approach to each, practised on real station styles.
- 14:10
Live answer surgery
Strong versus weak answers side by side. Volunteers attempt stations and Dr Akash upgrades the answers in real time, showing exactly where marks are won.
- 14:45Afternoon break· A short 15-minute break before the final hour.
- 15:00
Your subject's hot-topics hour
The day splits into a medicine room and a dentistry room for a dedicated current-topics hour, so you only cover what your interviews will ask.
- 15:50
Wrap-up: your plan to interview day
A structured plan for the days before your interviews, how to use your 14 days of Q&A guide access, and open Q&A.
3:00pm to 3:50pm
Your dentistry hot-topics hour
From 3pm the day splits into subject rooms. The dentistry room covers the topics dental schools actually ask about this cycle:
- NHS dentistry, the UDA contract and why patients cannot find a dentist
- The access crisis and dental workforce debates
- Why dentistry (and why not medicine): the answer dental interviewers probe hardest
- Manual dexterity stations and how to talk about your evidence for them
Nothing from the hour has to be memorised on the day: every topic is covered in depth, with model answers, in your Ultimate Dentistry Interview Q&A Guide access, kept current through the season.
One course, taught for both subjects
Medicine and dental schools interview with the same station styles and score the same core skills, so the day’s frameworks are taught to both groups together, with worked examples drawn from both subjects throughout.
Where the subjects genuinely differ, the current-affairs questions, you split into your own room for a dedicated hot-topics hour. You never sit through the other subject’s material.
Applying for medicine instead? See the medicine interview course. Same day, same price, your own hot-topics hour.

Questions
Dentistry Interview Course FAQs
What is the best dentistry interview course?
TheUKCATPeople's dentistry interview course is a one-day, live-online course taught entirely by Dr Akash Gandhi, a practising NHS GP, for £179. It covers MMI and panel technique, motivation, work experience, ethics, communication and a dedicated dentistry hot-topics hour, and includes 14 days of access to our Ultimate Dentistry Interview Q&A Guide (500+ questions with model answers written by dentists, normally £349).
What sets it apart from other UK dentistry interview courses is that it is taught by a qualified doctor rather than current students, it is genuinely interactive rather than a pre-recorded webinar, and every place includes real interview-guide access rather than slides alone. There is no single "best" course for everyone, but if you want doctor-led teaching with a strong resource included, this is built to be exactly that.
Who is the dentistry interview course for?
Applicants with dental school interviews in the current cycle: Year 13s, graduates and reapplicants. Most students book as soon as their first invite arrives, but the frameworks are just as useful booked ahead of invites, everything taught applies to MMI and panel formats at every UK dental school.
How much does a dentistry interview course cost, and what is included?
A place is £179, VAT included. That covers the full live course day (9:00am to 4:00pm UK time), a dedicated dentistry hot-topics hour, digital course notes, and 14 days of full access to the Ultimate Dentistry Interview Q&A Guide (normally £349 on its own) from course day onwards. Payment is by Stripe. Places are non-refundable, so book the date you can attend.
Is the course really for both medicine and dentistry?
Yes, deliberately. Medical and dental schools use the same interview formats and score the same core skills: motivation, work-experience reflection, ethics, communication and station technique. Those shared frameworks are taught to both groups together, with worked examples from both subjects.
From 3pm the day splits into separate subject rooms for a dedicated hot-topics hour, so dentistry applicants only cover dentistry current affairs and never sit through medicine material.
What format is the course, and is it recorded?
Live and interactive over Zoom, 9:00am to 4:00pm UK time, taught by Dr Akash Gandhi throughout. It is not a webinar you passively watch: questions are encouraged and volunteer answers are workshopped live.
The day is not recorded. Your written course notes and your 14 days of Q&A guide access cover everything you need to revise from.
When does the 14 days of interview guide access start?
On the morning of your course date, not at purchase: access runs from course day until 14 days after it, your peak practice window. The student signs in with the email given at checkout and the guide unlocks automatically, no access codes needed.
What you get is 14 days of full access to the Ultimate Dentistry Interview Q&A Guide in our members portal (normally £349 on its own): 500+ questions with model answers written by dentists, self-rating and a personal review queue.
I am a parent booking for my child. Whose details do I use?
Pay with your own card and email as normal. Checkout separately asks for the student's full name, the student's email address and the course they are applying for: the booking confirmation and receipt go to you, and the guide access and its instructions are set up on the student's email.
Does it cover MMI and panel interviews?
Yes. The frameworks are taught against both formats, and the station-craft sessions cover the MMI station types that decide borderline candidates: role play, data interpretation, calculations, prioritisation and article stations, alongside classic panel questioning.
Will it prepare me for my specific universities?
The course teaches the method every UK dental school scores, which is most of the battle, and the hot-topics hour covers the current-affairs questions that come up everywhere. For interviews at specific universities, with their own station styles and mark schemes, our 1-1 interview coaching runs university-specific mocks with live scoring, which is exactly what course attendees book next.
Which date should I book, and are places refundable?
Places are non-refundable, so book the date you are confident you can attend. If you are unsure, choose an earlier one: interview invites tend to arrive at short notice, and the frameworks are just as useful before your first invite as after it.
There are three dates across the season (October, November and December), so there is room to pick the one that fits your timetable.
