Abstract:
Objective. To investigate the correlation of mean admission multiple mini-interview (MMI) scores with cumulative and overall GPA across didactic years 1-3 in the doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum. Methods. The mean admission MMI score and cumulative and overall GPA for first year (P1), second year (P2), and third year (P3) students in the PharmD curriculum was used to conduct a multiple regression analysis and to calculate a Pearson correlation coefficient. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, v20. Results. A negative correlation between mean admission MMI and overall GPA was observed for P1 students and P2 students. A significant positive correlation was observed between mean admission MMI and overall GPA for P3 students. Conclusion. A weak association between mean admission MMI score and GPA was observed, and the direction of the association between MMI and GPA was mixed across cohorts of students in the PharmD curriculum. Further research is needed that includes measurement of noncognitive outcomes and continued validation of the MMI for use in pharmacy school admissions.
