Multiple mini-interviews for the Doctor of Medicine
We use Multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) to assess your personal qualities and values.
The qualities we assess will include your:
- kindness and compassion
- integrity
- adaptability
- verbal communication skills.
To learn more about how we select applicants for interview, visit Submit your application and select your entry type.
The MMI process
The MMI format consists of several interview stations. You'll move from station to station to meet with a different assessor. Each assessor will give you a score that will contribute to your overall admissions rank.
MMIs are held via video conferencing. To participate, you'll need a PC/Mac computer, or mobile device such as a tablet. Your device must have:
- speakers
- microphone
- moveable webcam
- stable internet connection.
If we select you for an interview, we'll send you an email with your video conferencing link and a briefing pack that outlines the conditions you must comply with when attending your MMI. You should receive this between one and two weeks before the day of your interview. Check your emails regularly, including your junk mailbox.
Our staff will also conduct an online briefing session before the MMIs. This is not compulsory, however, we highly recommended you attend as you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions. This session will not be recorded.

Reasonable adjustments
The Medical School fosters a culture of inclusivity and equivalent opportunities to access education in medicine. Enabling effective inclusion requires a collaborative effort by applicants and the Medical School. We ask all applicants to take the time to read the Medical Deans Inclusive Medical Education Guidelines (PDF 1,115 KB).
Some minor adjustments may be considered for your MMI if you have a disability or medical condition. Please contact the Faculty of Medicine for further information.
