The multiple mini interview (MMI) is now used by most medical schools. Instead of one long panel discussion, you rotate through a series of short stations — each assessing a different competency.
Typical Station Types
- Motivation and insight into medicine
- Ethical dilemmas and professional judgement
- Role-play or communication scenarios
- Teamwork and behavioural judgement
- Data interpretation or critical thinking tasks
Many of these map directly to the categories in Go Doctor's medical school interview question bank. Use the section links to focus your prep — for example communication or behavioural judgement.
What Panels Are Looking For
MMIs are scored against criteria, not charisma. Examiners want structured thinking, justified decisions, empathy, and professionalism — often under strict time limits.
How To Prepare
- Review questions by theme so nothing on the day feels completely unfamiliar.
- Practise concise openings — you rarely have time for long introductions.
- Rehearse responding to challenges and follow-ups, not just listing facts.
- Run at least one full timed mock before your interview week.
Go Doctor mirrors the nine-station structure used in real admissions. Start with the free question bank, then book a voice mock interview when you want realistic probing and feedback.
