How it Works
The MMI consists of a series of short interviews, during which the applicant responds to a standardized scenario or question, then discusses with a rater. During some scenarios, the applicant interacts with an actor while a rater observes.
This cycle, the MMIs will be conducted virtually, so volunteers can participate from anywhere in the U.S.

About the Multiple Mini Interview
In 2011, the OHSU School of Medicine joined a cohort of medical schools using the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI), as a part of the M.D. admissions process.
Developed by McMaster University, the MMI is an interview format that consists of a series of short interview stations, each focused on a different question or scenario. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the MMI is designed to assess communication skills, specifically verbal and nonverbal skills that cannot be measured by standardized exams or transcripts.
