“…All of these MMIs were selecting candidates at a later point in their careers as they applied for residency or junior doctor posts . The number of interview days ranges between one and 11 with up to four sets per day and up to seven simultaneous circuits per set . Candidates are given between 30 seconds and 3 minutes to read the scenario and prepare for the task.…”

The MMI literature provides useful recommendations for reliable and cost-efficient MMI designs, but some important aspects have not yet been fully explored. More theory-driven research is needed concerning dimensionality and construct validity, the predictive validity of MMIs other than those of McMaster University, the comparison of station types, and a cost-efficient station development process.

“…Applicants to the School of Medicine at the University of Calgary indicated that the information they received prepared them for the MMI (mean rating = 4.06 / 5; Brownell et al 2007). McAndrew & Ellis (2012) report 91% and 71% of applicants being satisfied with the information provided on the structure and content of the MMI, respectively.…”

“…Some behaviors and characteristics, such as flexibility, professionalism, empathy, and ethical understanding are crucial for successful global health fieldwork. These factors are notoriously difficult to instill through pre-departure training [1,8,10,19–24]. This pilot evaluation leads to a better understanding of what is needed for an effective screening process.…”

There continues to be an increase in the number of learners who participate in international health electives (IHEs). However, not all learners enter IHEs with the same level of knowledge, attitude, and previous experience, which puts undue burden on host supervisors and poses risks to student and patient safety. The Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) is a technique that has become a popular method for undergraduate and postgraduate-level health science admissions programs. This paper describes the MMI process used by our program to screen first-year medical students applying for pre-clinical IHEs. Two country-specific cases were developed to assess non-cognitive skills. One hundred percent (100%) of the students (n = 48) and interviewers (n = 10) who participated in MMIs completed anonymous surveys on their experience. The majority of students rated the scenarios as realistic (>90%); 96% found the MMI format fair and balanced; 96% of students felt that they were able to clearly articulate their thoughts; 75% of students stated that they had a general understanding of how the MMIs worked; only 33% of students would have preferred a traditional one-to-one interview. Feedback from both interviewers and students was positive toward the MMI experience, and no students were identified as unfit for participation. Ultimately, 43 students participated in pre-clinical IHEs in 2016. In this paper, we will outline our MMI process, detail shortcomings, and discuss our next steps to screen medical students for IHEs.
