This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) is used to determine the most suitable candidates for the medical profession. It is also important to ensure students have the career maturity necessary to cope with the developmental tasks associated with medical training. This study explored if students stronger in their career decision of medicine perform better on the MMI. Methods: 119 students (72% response rate) completed a career maturity measure. Student MMI scores were matched to career maturity responses. Results: A significant positive correlation (p <.05) existed between MMI score and specify physician as a career preference (r =.177, N =112, p <.031). There was no significant correlation with the MMI score and crystalize a career preference (r =.046, N =119, p =.31) or implement physician as career choice (r =.039, N =114, p =.34). Mean scores for both crystalize career preference ( M = 18.91) and implement physician as career choice ( M = 17.46) indicate that students performing lower on the MMI continue coping with those tasks as compared to specify (M=20.65). Conclusion: Findings suggest a relation between medical student's career maturity and interview performance as measured using the MMI, with students in the intermediate stages of career development having higher MMI scores.
