How should I prepare for medical school interviews?

The best way to prepare is to practice: out loud, in front of the mirror or with family. The question you will always be asked is why you want to be a doctor so it is essential that you have an answer ready to go and honest. Keeping up to date with current affairs shows an interest and being able to discuss an article you have read demonstrates you have reflected and developed opinions on important issues. It is a great idea to read over approaches to tackling medical ethical scenarios as these are popular questions and having a basic structure to approaching them helps you articulate your thought process clearly.
