vip_138 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 MMI: multiple-mini interview you talk to several panal interviewers for like 10mins individually, i think they give you ethic scenarios and each of them gives you a rating. they use it because its more efficient use of time for interviewers and if you mess up with one person, it won't hurt you too much. This is from a hazy memory so don't quote me on this. I'm fairly sure uofm doesn't have this, i think mcmaster has it (i'm not sure if any others do).

Kuantum Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I think UofM is still considering this. They stated on their website that they would release this information in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people who interviewed last year went through it as a test-run. I just thought maybe someone had heard one way or another what's going down. In MMI, don't they throw you in a room with an actor and watch you through a 2-way mirror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunE Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 In MMI, don't they throw you in a room with an actor and watch you through a 2-way mirror? Not at U of M. I went through it at U of M last year as part of the trial. No 2-ways nor do they even have that many 2-way mirror rooms. They only have one in psych health I believe, that's fairly small.

Daemos Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hopefully they don't change the format, I've heard from some people that they are changing (as they were told), but they arn't in medicine, they are part of rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lth Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Looks like they're staying with the traditional panel format for this year. From the med website: March 2007 Medical Admissions Interviews The regular category interviews are conducted by a three-person panel. This interview will be used to score the applicant. The panel normally includes a practicing physician, a member of the university community, and a senior undergraduate medical student. The interviews last 50-60 minutes and are audio-taped. Interviewers will have portions of the applicant’s supplementary application, essay and referee reports but not the applicant’s university grades or MCAT scores. The interview committee usually consists of a chair appointed by the Admissions Committee, a basic scientist, a practicing physician, and a senior undergraduate student. Usually at least one member of the committee has been admitted to Medicine through Special Consideration. The committee has before it the entire academic record of the applicant, MCAT scores, biography, and reference letters. The interview lasts 50-60 minutes and is audio-taped. The interview follows the format and process of the regular category except that the academic record of the applicant is available and is a subject of inquiry by the committee. I'm assuming that the second paragraph is talking about Special Consideration interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
