About
With 1,379 applications for 14 posts last year, Community & Sexual Reproductive Health (CSRH) ST1 is fiercely competitive. You can be genuinely passionate about sexual health, have a solid portfolio, and still underperform on the day because your answers ramble, your presentation lacks structure, or you freeze when you’re asked about a clinical scenario on the spot. With only a short online interview to prove yourself, there’s no time to “warm up” or hope your personality carries it. You need a plan that lands quickly, sounds polished, and scores marks.
That’s what this course gives you: a simple, repeatable system to turn your experience into high-scoring answers across every domain. You’ll learn exactly how to structure your motivation and specialty interest, deliver a crisp communication-style presentation that hits the scoring points, break down the pre-read article into a confident data narrative, and handle teamwork questions with clear reflection and impact.
Everything is designed to be practical and exam-like. Clear frameworks, worked examples, and targeted drills so you can rehearse to time, refine your delivery, and walk into interview day knowing what you’re going to say, how you’re going to say it, and why it scores.
