MMI Practice Questions

A multiple mini interview (MMI) is an admissions interview made up of a circuit of short, timed stations. At each station, you read a prompt and then discuss it with a different interviewer. Prompts include ethical scenarios, questions about you and issues in health care. Each interviewer scores only their own station, so the school sees how you perform across several situations.

Timing varies by school. A common format gives you 2 minutes to read the prompt and 5 to 8 minutes at the station. A full circuit usually runs 6 to 10 stations. Every station in this library starts at 2 minutes to read, 5 minutes to answer and 90 seconds for each of two follow-up questions, and you can change each of these.

Most MMI stations give you an ethical dilemma, a question about health policy or society, a question about yourself or a scenario about teamwork and conflict. Some schools add a role-play with an actor or a task you complete with another applicant. The interviewer then asks follow-up questions that change the facts or press on your reasoning.

Practice whole stations out loud against the clock, and review every answer afterward. A strong answer names the central issue, considers the people affected, weighs at least two options and commits to one with a reason. Practice the follow-up questions too, because they test whether your reasoning holds when the facts change.
