Big List of All Med School Interview Questions- Part 2: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)

Figure 1. A hauntingly accurate, single-meme portrayal of the MMI.

As promised- here is the compilation of MMI interview questions... and arguably the largest collection of MMI questions in a single document.

Link: Big List of All Med School Interview Questions- Part 2: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)

Why this collection is useful:

1. As with the panel/traditional format, interviews can only cover so many topics of discussion and from a limited number of questions. Although this might be less applicable for the MMI, one could argue that there exist some limitations in how the questions are structured.
2. Medical schools tend to organize their interview questions based on certain categories- although the categories here are slightly different from the panel/traditional format.
3. The sheer number of questions & comprehensiveness of areas covered allows for a thorough understanding of the interview process, while at the same time acting as a large reservoir of practice questions for applicants.

This collection is currently organized into the following categories:

• Section 1. Ethical decision making
• Barely addressed in Part 1 (Panel/Traditional).
• Section 2. Critical thinking
• Section 3. Problem solving & conflict management
• Section 4. Communication skills (acting)
• Section 5. Current healthcare & societal issues
• Section 6. Standard interview questions (redundant)
• Small section, possibly redundant- however MMIs tend to ask different types of standard questions than the panel/traditional format.

Things to note:

• Please note that this is only the first release, before the majority of the interviews start in Canada.
• This is considerably less expansive than Part 1- due to many reasons:
• A lot of material I had to withhold until further notice (many issues dealing with compromised confidentiality agreements, possible copyrights, etc).
• I've been more swamped than ever at work.
• Despite having said that, this compilation will get updated from time to time with the addition of more questions and such.

Part 3 will be a collection of solutions/answers to some of these MMI questions (not provided by me, of course). This will take some a lot of time.
