“Shanaka helped me to prepare for my interview for med school and it was one of the best training I have ever done. He helped me to better understand myself and play to my strengths. His approach is different in that it’s not just about learning the tricks and techniques but really using your own character to your advantage. He made the whole process fun and even helped me to end up enjoying the interview. Would recommend to anyone without skipping a beat.”

Message from our Co-Founder
Across fifteen years and more than 14,000 hours coaching medical applicants in the UK, Australia, and Singapore, I learned what separates those who get offers from those who do not. It is rarely knowledge, and it is never a rehearsed script. It is character, psychology, and the confidence to be genuinely yourself under pressure. I built InterviewMD on a simple conviction: you are already enough, and the right preparation reveals that rather than hides it.

InterviewMD got me into Medical School!
Before I found InterviewMD, I was really anxious about my interview preparation. I worried that I might come across as robotic and rehearsed, and I questioned whether I could handle unexpected questions under pressure. I didn't want to walk into my interview relying solely on hope, I needed real preparation.
What surprised me most about InterviewMD was the genuine support I received from Shanaka and Namreetha. They went beyond just teaching me what to say; they helped me understand how to approach my responses authentically.

InterviewMD helped me get into Med School!!!
Before I found InterviewMD, I was really worried about preparing for my medical school interview since I had never sat for an interview before and had no idea where to start.
However, my experience with InterviewMD completely transformed my approach. I loved how tailored the feedback was to my responses; it wasn't just general advice but specific insights that helped me refine my answers and improve significantly.

Shanaka definitely saved me when I was preparing!!
I found the structure of the course so helpful and it reduced a lot of stress and uncertainty that I had. I would definitely recommend using all of the resources because these are super valuable and ensured I was on the right trajectory in regards to all of the sections.
Shanaka had so many tips and tricks, and I found doing one-on-one sessions occasionally really helped me because we were able to identify my personal strengths and weaknesses and set goals for the next week or so. I highly recommend this course to everyone!

Changed my entire mind. Made me evolve into what I know I can be
I improved in ways I didn't even think possible. For me personally, Shanaka felt like a big brother type of role and supported me in medicine and aspects and more importantly life aspects.
I truly believe my whole character and personality has changed and evolved from the things I learnt from the course and Shanaka himself. I'm happy because this program really did change almost everything about me in a beneficial way
