Abstract:
Multiple-Mini Interviews (MMIs) were used to assess professional attributes of candidates seeking admission to an occupational therapy professional entry-level master's program. Candidates and interviewers were invited to complete a questionnaire comprised of quantitative and open-ended questions following the MMIs. The MMIs were perceived to be fair, enjoyable, and capable of capturing professional attributes. Descriptive analysis of candidates' data revealed perceptions regarding logistics, interview station content, process, and interviewers. Interviewers commented on the positive and challenging aspects of the scenarios and the MMI process. Admissions committees need to consider several logistical, content, and process issues when designing and implementing MMIs as a selection tool.
