You will be asked a series of questions in relation to a scenario at each of the eight interview stations and you will have eight minutes to respond. After interview, candidates are assessed on 75% interview and 25% UCAT and must meet the academic threshold.

It will be a panel interview and provides applicants the opportunity to demonstrate their communication skills and to further explore their motivation for undertaking a career in dentistry and their commitment to rural and regional dental practice.
