Which one fits you?
What is Big Interview Medical?
It is Big Interview's residency product, on its own site at biginterviewmedical.com (the old biginterview.com/medical address shows a page not found). Its terms describe it as residency interview preparation tools designed for medical students and graduates. The Standard plan is $299, a one‑time payment that lasts the whole residency interview season, with 3.5 hours of video lessons, a mock interview tool and instant AI feedback.
Plans, lessons and feedback, from its pages
The plans page lists Standard at $299, VIP at $599 (marked "sold out", with live group coaching and 3 recorded answers reviewed by Pamela Skillings, Big Interview's creator) and Exclusive VIP at $1,400 (two 90-minute consultations). The cards were labeled "season 2025/2026" when we read them. Plans page
The course covers common, behavioral and why‑this‑program questions, with playbooks for gaps, not matching before and international medical graduates, across the main specialties. The AI feedback page lists an eye contact tracker, a filler word counter, a power word score and a pace of speech tool. AI feedback page
Refunds: a 30-day money back guarantee, and "if you don't match, we'll let you continue your prep at no additional cost." Coaching sessions are not refundable.
Does Big Interview work for medical school interviews?
Partly. Its personal pricing page sells job‑interview plans and names no medical school content and no MMI. Common questions such as why medicine, teamwork and your weaknesses carry over. MMI stations, ethics scenarios and school‑specific questions are where a medicine‑specific tool helps.
Can you get Big Interview free?
Often, yes. Purdue says a Big Interview account is free to Purdue students and asks pre‑health students to practice with it before booking a mock. The University of Georgia points students to its Career Center's Big Interview for mock interviews tailored to their pre‑professional path. The University of Toledo medical school offers its students free Big Interview Medical accounts for residency prep. Ask your career center first.
Which AI interviewers are alternatives?
Medicine-specific AI interviewers ask MMI, ethics and school or program questions out loud and score each answer. Confetto applicants have done 54,839 mock interviews since December 2024.
