摘要:Background: Multiple mini-interviews (MMI) were proposed almost a decade ago as an alternate means of assessing medical school applicants. MMIs are similar to an OSCE (Objectively Structured Clinical Examination) in that applicants complete a series of brief encounters focused on non-clinical topics.Aim: To assist those considering the addition of MMIs with standard interviews in a hybrid admissions model.Methods: The tips are derived from personal experience with a hybrid model at one academic institution.Results: The twelve tips describe approaches for obtaining early faculty buy-in, designing a floor plan and time-table, aligning MMI content with the program mission and goals, conducting faculty training, developing contingency plans, managing applicants’ expectations, encouraging committee participation, promoting holistic review of each applicant, utilizing the benefits the model allows, changing scenarios periodically, studying the model, and sharing the lessons learned.Conclusion: It is hoped these suggestions are helpful to those considering a hybrid model for their institution.
