JD118 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I was wondering if the U of A has always had these intro and exit interviews, or if it's something new they've implemented this year? Also, if it's not something new, can anyone tell me if there's a specific question you have to answer, or is it just 8 minutes of you talking about anything you'd like? Any help would be appreciated!

Tacrolimus Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm pretty sure you're given a scenario or asked an ethical/medical/communication/critical thinking type of question and then you 8 minutes to talk/discuss about it. Also, if you have an interview coming up, and you don't even know what MMI consists of, I'd be a little worried.

They had the 'warm-up' and 'cool-down' stations last year as well. No scenarios but they do ask you questions (obviously can't give specifics; gotta love non-disclosure agreements). These stations are NOT evaluated though, ie you are not assigned a 'grade' for these 2 stations and they do NOT factor into the admissions process calculations. Really they're there just so you can work some of the nerves out and feel comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Now, I realize that the OP was solely talking about intro/exit. I thought the second sentence was referring to MMI in general. My bad... Sorry!
