What are MMI-style residency interviews like?

[FailureToThrive]

Are they like med school interviews?

Are the evaluators usually people who are part of the department?

Do they typically ask personal questions?

Is there a time limit per station?

What are the main differences between MMI and panel interviews?

Please shed some light on this There isn't a lot of information on the internet about this.

They can be, although the one I did had some clinical questions, kind of like an osce station.

Are the evaluators usually people who are part of the department?

Yes they all are staff/admin/residents.

Do they typically ask personal questions?

Most stations ask personal questions, ie why do you want to be a neuropathologist? why this universtity/program? talk about your expeiriences, research, etc.

Is there a time limit per station?

Yes.... do you know what an MMI is?

What are the main differences between MMI and panel interviews?

Panel interviews you just spend x time with one or more people in the same room, maybe do that twice, MMI-style you meet wtih 6+ different people briefly with specific questions for each.

I mean... its really similar to a med school MMI, the difference is just the kinds of questions you get asked, the format is the same.

Its a med school MMI but much more practical questions.
