“…MMIs began in McMaster University over a decade ago by adopting the format of objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) to the admissions interview [1], thereby incorporating a structured multi-sampling method. Previous studies have shown that MMIs offer greater validity and reliability than traditional interviews [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. …”

PurposeThis paper aims to introduce the design of multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) as a tool to assess medical school applicants’ attributes in alignment with the school’s educational goals and to evaluate its utility.MethodsIn this MMI, candidates rotated through six stations (10 minutes per station), in which specific interview topics were drawn by mapping the school’s educational goals with the core competencies for entering medical students. We conducted post-MMI surveys of all of the interviewers and candidates to investigate their experiences of MMIs. The G-coefficient and interclass correlation were analyzed to investigate the reliability of this test. Additionally, the candidates’ MMI scores were compared across different backgrounds and a univariate analysis was used to estimate correlations between their MMI scores and prior academic achievements. ResultsA total of 164 candidates (a 98.8% response rate) and 19 interviewers (a 100% response rate) completed the surveys in the years 2014 and 2015. Both candidates and assessors showed positive responses to MMIs. The G-coefficient of MMI scores was 0.88 and the interclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.58 to 0.75. The participants’ total MMI scores did not differ across genders or undergraduate backgrounds and were not associated with age, undergraduate graduate point averages, nor the Korean medical school admission test (Medical Education Eligibility Test) scores. ConclusionOur study illustrates the utility of MMIs that utilize the institution’s educational goals to identify attributes to be pursued in the admission interviews in alignment with the institution’s core values. Future research is warranted of the predictive validity of this MMI.

“…They oversaw, for example, the prior and clear understanding of the definition of the selection criteria for each dimension, the questions to be asked, the interview structure, the previous training of the interviewers and the assessment guidelines. In truth, this is not very different from the recommendations that were recently addressed to MMI, 3,37,41 which highlight the importance of a careful and rigourous design. Equally, it is imperative to meet the need to align the vision and mission of medical schools with the students who are selected.…”

Introduction: Personality has became popular in medical student's selection. However, few research exists about the association between the big five personality traits and the existent medical school selection tools. Our aim was to study which personality traits were selected by a medical school admission interview. Material and Methods: One hundred ninety four graduate applicants that had applied to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto through the graduate entry approach, after ranked on previous achievement, were interviewed between the academic years of 2011 and 2013. From these, 181 (93.3%) answered to the NEO Five-Factor Inventory that assesses high order personality traits of openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Admission interview corresponded to the second phase of the seriation process. Every applicant was interviewed and scored by three interviewers on seven dimensions asesssed by Lickert scale (1-10). Interview score was the sum of the dimensions. Linear mixed effects model and respective regression coefficients were used to estimate the association between personality traits from each interviewer's score. Final models were adjusted for gender, interviewers and previous achievement.Results: Openness to experience (Beta = 0.18: CI 95%: 0.05; 0.30) had the strongest association with interview score followed by the interaction effect between the extraversion and conscientiousness traits (Beta = 0.14; CI 95%: 0.02; 0.25). Also, applicants scored higher when their gender was opposite to the interviewers. Discussion: Previous achievement and interview score had no association. Conclusion: Our admission interview selected different personality traits when compared to other selection tools. Medical schools should be aware of the implications of the adopted selection tools on the admitted medical student's personality because it can help providing beneficial interventions.

“…Testen krever imidlertid mye ressurser, med én intervjuer på hver stasjon. Antall stasjoner varierer vanligvis mellom 7 og 12, og intervjuene varer rundt 8 minutter (20)(21)(22). Søkerne blir testet i forskjellige problemstillinger, med fokus på hvordan de reflekterer, håndterer og eventuelt prioriterer i gitte situasjoner.…”
