“…79 Assessment of clinical skills in the form of an objective structured clinical examination or a multiple mini interview (MMI) to assess competencies desired by the program has been described for individual programs and regional assessment centers for selection of residents. Many of the studies examining Additional degree (Masters, PhD) 4 (9) validity evidence for the MMIs or multiple station interviews were identified in this review (MMI 70,[85][86][87][88][89][90][91] and competency center 71,[92][93][94][95][96][97][98] ). Several studies showed a positive correlation between multiple station interviews and future clinical examination testing.…”

“…8 Since then, a number of institutions across several disciplines have adopted the MMI format, deeming the approach to be effective and reliable. 5,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] In 2008, the University of Arkansas College of Pharmacy incorporated the MMI into their admissions process, 13 and this institution provided guidance and mentorship to facilitate implementation at UCSF.…”

Objective. To improve the quality of admissions interviews for a doctor of pharmacy program, using a multiple mini-interview (MMI) in place of the standard interview. Methods. Stakeholders completed an anonymous web-based survey. This study characterized perceptions of the MMI format across 3 major stakeholders (candidates, interviewers, admissions committee members) and included comparative cost estimates. Costs were estimated using human and facility resources from the 2012 cycle (standard format) and the 2013 cycle (MMI format). Results. Most candidates (65%), interviewers (86%), and admissions committee members (79%) perceived the MMI format as effective for evaluating applicants, and most (59% of candidates, 84% of interviewers, 77% of committee members) agreed that the MMI format should be continued. Cost per candidate interviewed was $136.34 (standard interview) vs $75.30 (MMI). Conclusion. Perceptions of the MMI process were favorable across stakeholder groups, and this format was less costly per candidate interviewed.

Traditional methods of assessing personality traits in medical school selection have been heavily criticised. To address this at the point of selection, ''non-cognitive'' tests were included in the UK Clinical Aptitude Test, the most widely-used aptitude test in UK medical education (UKCAT: http://www.ukcat.ac.uk/). We examined the predictive validity of these non-cognitive traits with performance during and on exit from medical school. We sampled all students graduating in 2013 from the 30 UKCAT consortium medical schools. Analysis included: candidate demographics, UKCAT non-cognitive scores, medical school performance data-the Educational Performance Measure (EPM) and national exit situational judgement test (SJT) outcomes. We examined the relationships between these variables and SJT and EPM scores. Multilevel modelling was used to assess the relationships adjusting for confounders. The 3343 students who had taken the UKCAT non-cognitive tests and had both EPM and SJT data were entered into the analysis. There were four types of non-cognitive test: (1) libertariancommunitarian, (2) NACE-narcissism, aloofness, confidence and empathy, (3) MEARS-self-esteem, optimism, control, self-discipline, emotional-nondefensiveness (END) and faking, (4) an abridged version of 1 and 2 combined. Multilevel regression showed that, after correcting for demographic factors, END predicted SJT and EPM decile. Aloofness and empathy in NACE were predictive of SJT score. This is the first large-scale study examining the relationship between performance on non-cognitive selection tests and medical school exit assessments. The predictive validity of these tests was limited, and the relationships revealed do not fit neatly with theoretical expectations. This study does not support their use in selection.
