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?

# In your view, what is the most pressing problem facing medicine today?

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.
