Basic Life Support & the Medicine Interview
A one-day workshop for aspiring medical students that turns certified, hands-on emergency-skills training into something far more useful for an application. Practise real CPR and choking response — then use that same clinical experience to build a written reflection portfolio and rehearse the medical-school interview, all around one coherent theme.

The Day, Block by Block
Every block is engineered to do double duty: a genuine clinical skill, and raw material a student can use in a personal statement and at interview. Look for the outcome noted in each block.

What Every Student Leaves With
A certificate of completion in CPR and choking response — a genuine, hands-on clinical skill, practised under supervision rather than watched.
01
BLS Certificate
Two to three structured reflective entries written on the day, plus a personal-statement paragraph — the reflected-on experience medical schools want to see and ask about.
02
Reflection Portfolio
Live practice across the four MMI station types, with individual feedback — so the interview becomes a familiar, rehearsed skill rather than an unknown.
