You can read some general interview advice in the FAQ at http://www.studential.com/guide/interviews/interview_faq.asp , I don't really know much about medicine but here is a list of sample question i got of a (US) admissions site.

# Why do you want to be a doctor?
# What will you if you aren't accepted to medical school?
# What makes you special?
# What are your 2 best points?
# What are your 2 weakest points?
# What do you think will be your greatest challenge in completing medical school or learning how to be a doctor?
# In your view, what is the most pressing problem facing medicine today?
# How will you pay for medical school?
# If you could do anything different in your education, what would you do?
# Where else are you applying?
# Have you been accepted anywhere?
# What is your first choice?
# Tell me about yourself.
# What do you do in your spare time?

One of the most critical stages of the job search process is the job interview. Your medical school interview is your one-chance-in-a-lifetime to attain your professional dreams. If it is medical school interview or any other professional job interview, always remember that your interviewer will look out for good communication skills.
