Abstract
Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI) are widely used for high stakes assessment of candidates’ personal and professional behaviours for selection into Medical Programs and health professional education in Australia and across the globe. Established by McMaster University, the MMI was introduced to assess non-cognitive characteristics of potential students through a series of independent interviewers at different ‘stations’. Overall, research shows that the MMI is more reliable than traditional interviews and has widely been adopted as best-practice. However, the MMI does pose a potential problem regarding inclusive practice. Are we inadvertently excluding excellent candidates because of entry design?
Purpose/Objectives
The purpose of this session is to explore current practice in MMI with regards to inclusive practice and to identify future opportunities in Medical Program Admissions.
Issues/Questions for exploration OR Ideas for discussion
What are the current admissions processes for MMI in relation to inclusive practice (accommodations, considerations, etc.)?
What processes might inadvertently exclude those with disability during the admissions process?
What are the barriers to achieving more inclusive practices?
What are the enablers to achieving more inclusive practices?
What evaluation processes and/or strategies can be implemented to determine if admission process changes are more inclusive?
What are the future opportunities of Health Professional Education providers with relation to MMI and inclusive practice?
