“…The typical panel interviews in health professions education admissions are comprised of practicing health professionals, faculty members, students, and members of the community. Panel interviewers engage in an unstructured or semi-structured dialogue with a candidate for varied amounts of time, typically ranging from 15 to 60 min [7, 8]. There have been many inconsistencies reported in academic literature regarding the use of a panel interview to measure noncognitive domains; it has been reported to be consistently unreliable and susceptible to bias [9–11].…”

Educators who assess incoming applicants into a health professional training program are looking for a wide array of cognitive and noncognitive skills that best predict success in the program and as a future practicing professional. While aptitude tests generally measure cognitive skills, noncognitive constructs are more difficult to measure appropriately. The traditional method of measuring noncognitive constructs has been the panel interview. Panel interviews have been described as inconsistent in measuring noncognitive domains and consistently reported as unreliable and susceptible to bias. An alternate interview method used in many health professions schools is the multiple mini-interview (MMI) that was specifically designed to assess noncognitive domains in health professions education. This paper discusses the purpose of using the MMI, how the MMI is conducted, specific domains of focus for the MMI, and the feasibility of creating an MMI. Finally, the paper uses Messick’s framework on validity to guide the consideration of the MMI.
