Multiple Mini Interview General Information

We will divide you into groups.  Each group is numbered and it is important that you remain with your group throughout the entire day as interviews are carefully timed.  Arrive on time but not too far in advance to avoid confusion on this very busy day. 

 Please remember, you must bring photo ID to be admitted to the MMI. 

When you arrive at registration present your ID and we will simply check your name off the list, provide you with your name tag, have you sign the consent forms and introduce you to your team leaders who will guide your group through the MMI day.

In addition to the MMI, applicants may participate in a 1/2 hour tour of the school and attend a 1/2 hour presentation with a video created by the first year students of UofC MD program.  During the presentation you will have a chance to meet the  Director of Admissions and ask questions about the program.

 MMI Information Session

This MMI presentation given by Dr. Ian Walker, will show sample MMI videos, offer some insight into how the MMI is scored, as well as provide some advice on how to maximize your performance and ask the medical students present to take part in the discussion. 

When and Where?

Interviews are tentatively scheduled for March 2-3 and 9-10, 2024 for the 2023-2024 application cycle.

Last year’s interviews were held virtually for the Class of 2026 online. The MMI included eight (8) MMI interviews following the same format as our traditional in-person event, and were conducted through the UCAN application system using a video integration module (on a Zoom platform). There was an opportunity to connect with current medical students via a virtual Coffee House.

Individuals invited to interview will receive further comprehensive details.
