What MedViva Coach does

MedViva Coach is an AI-powered mock interview app designed for students applying to study medicine. It gives applicants a simple way to practise interview-style questions aloud and receive feedback on communication, clarity, reflection, confidence and answer structure.

The app is especially useful for students preparing for UK medical school interviews, including MMI-style and panel-style practice.

Who is MedViva Coach for?

MedViva Coach is designed for students and supporters preparing for medicine interviews.

  • A-level students applying to study medicine

  • Applicants who feel nervous about medicine interviews
  • Students who want structured feedback before a real interview

Key features

Practise medicine interview questions aloud

Students practise answering medicine interview-style questions verbally, rather than only reading or writing answers.

Receive structured AI feedback

Feedback helps students improve communication, confidence, clarity, reflection, answer structure and relevance to the question.

Build confidence before interviews

Private, repeatable practice helps students prepare before speaking with teachers, tutors, mentors or interview panels.

Prepare anywhere

Students can practise on iPhone or iPad at home, during revision breaks, or whenever they want to improve interview readiness.

Why use MedViva Coach?

Medicine interviews can feel intimidating, especially for students who do not have regular access to mock interview practice. MedViva Coach gives applicants a low-pressure way to practise speaking aloud, reflect on their answers, and improve through repeated feedback.

It is not a replacement for teachers, tutors, mentors or official university guidance. Instead, it is a practice tool that helps students prepare more actively and confidently.
