Unique Modules

Interview Formats

Traditional Interviews

In this format, applicants are typically interviewed by a single person. Depending on the program, interviewers could be faculty members, students, community members, or program directors. They can either ask a series of pre-planned questions or tailor the line of questioning to your experiences.

Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI)

MMIs consist of several stations where you’re given a prompt. These prompts are based on ethics, teamwork, communication, problem-solving and conflict resolution. After a few minutes, interviewers can pose follow-up questions.

Panel/Modified Personal Interview

Some schools use a panel interview format where applicants are assessed by a group. Others use a modified personal interview. In this format, applicants are assessed by several interviewers separately.
