passionyst Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi, So I heard some school uses MMI style interview for dentistry admission. (I heard rumors that U of A will change their interview style) I know that Med school uses same format but I found a lot of MMI questions for med school had something to do with health care and about hospital situations.. ex. your patient need surgery. you do not have time for some very important event. what would you do? I am wondering if the contents of the MMI questions for dental school is same as med school.... Any information would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap_man99 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 The only school that has dent mmi is sask. But there are only dumped of the interview change. I believe they will do one more year of cda. But in my experience of dent mmi from sask it's more or less the same. Also the question you asked is more of a cda question rather than mmi Edit: maybe some Quebec and east schools do too. Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PredentalStudent Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi sorry for changing the topic but I don't know what is CDA structured interview? Is that different from MMI interviews? From what I know, MMI interviews are scenario based interviews? Thanks in advance for the explanation =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap_man99 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 mmi can be situational. from what i know mmi can ask you questions like why dent/med, why U of A or how do u interpret this situation. CDA is always what would u do if _______________ happened? or Tell us about a time when __________________ happened to you EDIt: questions like in this post: http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50120 however some schools will not ask you personal questions (and those questions will not be scored) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the question you asked is more of a cda question rather than mmi Edit: maybe some Quebec and east schools do too. Not sure Have you seen the sample mmi question from U of C med school? A lot of them were actually related to career (being a doctor what would you do ?) and to be honest I do not have a lot of experience in medical field. I hardly go see my family doctor or dentist. (not even once in a year...) And yes I do not have a lot of information about health care system too. But I thought you learn those thing once you get in... Not when you apply..

passionyst Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hey aravis, Do you know if they will ask a lot of health care related questions? Or would it be to find out your personality and morality ? I would hate to be interviewed with their new system for the first time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
