MMI Practice Questions
A multiple mini interview (MMI) is a circuit of short, timed stations. Each station gives you one scenario or question to discuss with an interviewer.
These 100 stations are grouped by topic. By default, each one gives you 2 minutes to read the prompt and 5 minutes to answer, then two follow-up questions at 90 seconds each.

What is an MMI?
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.
How long is an MMI station?
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.
What questions are asked in an MMI?
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.
How do I prepare for MMI questions?
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.
Mock interviews
If you want to practice with a person, we run mock MMI and panel interviews with feedback on every answer.
