The Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) is the preferred interview format for many medical schools and other professional schools across the United States and Canada. In fact, over 50 allopathic and osteopathic US medical schools utilize the MMI. 

For students who are preparing for the MMI, the experience can definitely be anxiety-provoking. During an MMI, students are presented with challenging scenarios and then typically given just two minutes to prepare their response.

Our goal in writing this book is to help students prepare for this high-stakes and challenging interview. Our detailed advice, based on evidence from research in the field and the perspectives of faculty, will provide you with an insider’s perspective.
