Medical School Interview Insights
MedInterview: Your interview. Your preparation. Our concern.
You have probably applied, or are thinking of applying to study medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or to become a physician associate and need a qualified tutor to help you get through your interviews. Whether it is MMI (Multiple Mini Interviews), panel interviews, or online interviews via platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, you have come to the right place. Dr. Omar Janneh is DBS-checked, appropriately trained and experienced in supporting applicants for admission to your chosen programme of study.
Since 2014, I have supported over 200 students to enter medical schools in the UK; a few were supported to study dentistry and veterinary medicine.
If you are worried about your medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or physician associate interview, you no longer have to face the interview alone.
If you are looking for personalised, one-to-one support rather than generic interview preparation, you have come to the right place. MedInterview is here to help you. We get to know you, your application and your interview so that your preparation is focused on what matters most to you.
With MedInterview, you can:
1. Share your personal statement: this allows us to understand your experiences, motivations and strengths.

If you are not sure what you need to work on, that is okay. We can help identify areas that may need further preparation so that you go through your interview smoothly.

Practise through realistic mock stations: Experience one-to-one interview support or if you have friends who are also preparing for their interviews, you can have group sessions to simulate working as part of a team. With MedInterview, you will practise tackling real challenging questions, respond creatively and confidently under pressure, and develop the skills and confidence needed to perform at your best on the day.
7. Receive individual feedback and an action plan: After your practice, you can ask to receive an honest personalised feedback and a clear action plan showing you what to work on before the real interview.
MedInterview offers personalised support for your medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, or physician associate interview. Your interview and your preparation for it are important. We will support you to prepare with purpose. You will practise with confidence so that you can walk into your interview ready to ace each station.
MedInterview's style is personal because we offer more than generic interview preparation. We do not simply give you a list of common interview questions and send you on your way. We look at your application, your university choices, your interview format, your concerns and your individual needs to help you prepare in a focussed and effective manner.
Overall, MedInterview can support you with your application, personal statement through to focussed, trusted, reliable, confidence building, and results-oriented interview techniques to help you get through your interviews.
If you have friends who are also applying to study medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or physician associate you can join the same session.

Dr. Melissa Matthews: Dr Omar Janneh was one of my first lecturers at university and has had a lasting impact on my academic and professional journey. He stood out as someone who genuinely cares a`````bout his students and their career goals, helping them develop the skills and confidence needed to achieve them. His MMI practice and guidance were invaluable in helping me secure a place in medicine and, later, a competitive training post. Beyond being an excellent teacher, he is a true inspiration and someone I continue to look up to. I’m incredibly grateful to have had him as a mentor.
Dr. Marina Labib: I am eternally grateful for the guidance and support Dr. Janneh gave me during my journey to medical school. He helped me fully understand the interview structure, approach MMI stations with confidence, and thoughtfully navigate difficult ethical scenarios.

I am now proud to be an SHO Doctor and I genuinely believe his guidance played an important role in helping me get there. I cannot thank him enough for his invaluable contribution to my journey into medicine.
Miss Parmia Ahsani: Dr. Janneh, Thank you so much for all your help and encouragement throughout the process of preparing for my medical school interviews. Your support made a real difference, especially when I was preparing for my interviews feeling really lost and uncertain. I’m so grateful for the time and effort you gave me. I had 3 offers. I am going to Nottingham to study medicine because it has the biggest sports facilities in England.

Dr Inayat Khan (GP Registrar (ST2), St Helier VTS): I feel fortunate to have been taught by Dr Janneh during my university studies. He is an exceptional lecturer who combines academic excellence with genuine care for his students. His teaching style made challenging Pharmacology topics accessible and his encouragement gave me greater confidence in my own abilities. Dr Janneh consistently went above and beyond to support students applying for Medicine, offering guidance not only in terms of academics but also in career development and personal growth. What distinguishes him most is his unwavering belief in his students' potential and his passion for helping them succeed. I am grateful for the guidance he provided and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any student seeking an inspiring educator.
Miss Pawani Abeyratne: Before starting medical school, I had the privilege of meeting Dr Janneh, whose support and encouragement played a significant role in my journey. Without hesitation upon meeting me he generously gave his time and guidance throughout the medical school interview process. Prior to my interview, Dr Janneh not only shared invaluable tips and practical advice, but also instilled in me a sense of confidence and self-belief that I had previously lacked. Despite his busy schedule, he always found time for me and had a remarkable way of making me feel like a priority each time we met. Together, we worked through interview structures, techniques, and approaches to answering difficult questions, helping me to communicate my experiences with clarity and confidence. His guidance extended far beyond interview preparation; after I was successful in passing my medical school interviews, Omar remained a friendly and familiar face, continuing to offer encouragement, support, and kindness. His generosity, dedication, and genuine belief in others have had a lasting impact on me, and I will always be incredibly grateful for everything he has done.
Miss Damaris Obi-Agha: Dr Omar Janneh was very helpful in my preparation for my medical school interviews. He tailored our sessions specifically to the medical school I was applying to and it was clear that he had an extensive understanding of the MMIs and knew what was required. During my medical school application process, I felt quite nervous for the upcoming interviews, but Dr Omar’s sessions helped me to feel prepared and confident going into my interviews. I was therefore successfully able to get into my first-choice medical school on my first attempt, and I am now in my final year of medical school. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Omar’s help, and I would highly recommend his service.
Dr. Talia Augustine: Dr. Omar Janneh has played a significant and enduring role in my academic and professional development, providing guidance that has supported my progression from studying Biomedical Sciences at St George’s, University of London, through to my current training in General Practice.During my Biomedical Sciences degree, Dr. Janneh provided valuable academic mentorship, particularly in developing my understanding of the planning and investigation of anticancer agents. Through his guidance, I gained insight into the differences between investigating therapeutic approaches for solid tumours and haematological malignancies, including the importance of considering disease biology, experimental models, mechanisms of action, and appropriate outcome measures. This experience strengthened my scientific reasoning and helped me appreciate how biomedical research can contribute to clinical practice. Dr. Janneh’s mentorship extended beyond my academic studies. When I was preparing my application to medical school, he provided valuable advice and support in developing an effective personal statement. His guidance helped me reflect on my experiences, communicate my motivation for medicine clearly, and present my academic and professional development effectively. I was successful in my medical school application in 2017 and subsequently deferred my entry until 2018. He also provided important preparation and advice for my panel interview, helping me approach the process with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of how to articulate my experiences and aspirations. Importantly, our professional relationship continued after I completed my Biomedical Sciences degree at St George’s. Dr. Janneh remained a source of mentorship and professional guidance as I progressed through different stages of my career. His continued support included providing professional references for the multiple roles I undertook between completing my Biomedical Sciences degree and commencing medical school, as well as during my medical degree, the UK Foundation Programme (F1+F2), and now my General Practice training. Dr. Janneh’s support has extended beyond a single academic period and has reflected an ongoing investment in my professional development. His mentorship, encouragement, academic guidance and willingness to provide professional references have contributed meaningfully to my progression from biomedical sciences student to medical student, foundation doctor, and now GP trainee. Thank you, Dr. Janneh!

Dr. Christabel Jemegbe: I found my sessions with Dr. Omar Janneh extremely valuable during my interview preparation for medical school. He provided practical advice and guidance that really helped me understand the interview process and what to expect. His approach made the preparation feel much less daunting and gave me greater confidence going into my interviews. Dr. Omar is also very friendly, patient and approachable, which made it easy to ask questions and learn from his feedback. He took the time to understand my individual strengths and areas for improvement and provided thoughtful, constructive advice throughout. I’m sure his guidance played an important role in helping me secure interviews during my application, and I’m very grateful for the support and encouragement he gave me.
Mr. Hezekiah Walters (5th Year Medical Student, City St George's, University of London): When Dr. Omar Janneh became my personal tutor in my 2nd year of Biomedical Science, I never ever imagined how helpful and supportive he would be in my aspirations of getting into Medicine.
Dr. Janneh met with me many times and gave me such valuable tips and techniques for medical interviews, including what they are looking for, how to answer the random tricky questions and also the kind of personality they like to see.
Dr Janneh didn’t just see this as his obligation but he also truly cared about me. And he cared for all the students - even running interview crash courses during the summer for students hoping to do well in interviews.
As an academic tutor, and also a person, Dr Janneh is amazing. I am truly blessed to have met him!
