1School of Medicine, Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford, UK.
Remote multiple mini interviews (MMIs) provide a validated online alternative for medical school admissions. This method maintained comparable candidate scores and reliability to in-person interviews during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Admissions Processes
- Remote Assessment
Background:
- Multiple mini interviews (MMIs) are standard for UK medical school admissions.
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift to online interview formats.
- Robust remote assessment methods were required for maintaining admissions standards.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a validated method for conducting remote MMIs.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of online MMI delivery.
Main Methods:
- Development and implementation of a remote MMI protocol.
- Comparison of candidate scores from remote and in-person interviews.
- Assessment of reliability in remote MMI scoring.
Main Results:
- The described remote MMI method yielded comparable candidate scores to pre-pandemic in-person interviews.
- The online delivery maintained the reliability of the MMI assessment.
- Successfully adapted MMI for remote, virtual delivery.
Conclusions:
- Validated remote MMIs are a reliable and effective alternative for medical school admissions.
- Online interview formats can successfully replicate the outcomes of traditional in-person assessments.
- This methodology supports continued robust admissions processes in virtual environments.
