This book shows applicants how to develop the optimal strategy for MMI success - an invaluable resource to help applicants gain that extra edge.

Medical interviews have changed a lot with time; in the last two decades, multiple mini interviews (MMIs) have revolutionized the assessment strategies for entrance to medical schools. MMIs usually consist of 6-10 stations of independent assessments done in a timed circuit so that the same examiner evaluates a specific skill for a station among the candidates. Many of these stations assess a candidate’s soft skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, team working, leadership and professional attitudes in addition to their knowledge, skills and motivation towards choosing medicine as a career. MMIs are not just a test of a candidate’s knowledge or skills, but their ability to use it appropriately at the right time. Aristotle said, ‘we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit’. Candidates wishing to succeed in medical MMI interviews need repetitive practice in the various stations. These stations usually include assessments on communication skills, medical ethics, recent medical facts, role play with an empathetic approach, data interpretation and calculations, scenario-based situations, personal character, motivation and judgment. This book will provide an excellent variety of opportunities to practice these stations and guide the candidate with a framework of answers. This book can be used for various medical university entrance exams, including those in the United Kingdom via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the United States via the American Medical College Application Service (AMCA), Canada via the respective Medical School Applications Service, Australia via the specific state Tertiary Admissions Centre and many other countries via their specific admission pathways. Dr. Thanthullu Vasu has previously published four medical books alongside many chapters and articles in leading international journals. He has founded, organized and directed many teaching courses that have received excellent feedback. He regularly organizes national MMI courses for candidates applying to medical schools; these courses are in high demand and have consistently produced a successful outcome. Many of the contributors in the book are team members from the RISE Foundation Leicestershire, a charity based in Leicestershire (https://risefoundationuk.com/). All the contributors have extensive experience as examiners in many interviews and courses. The royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to the RISE Foundation Leicestershire. Thank you for buying this book, as the money will go towards helping various causes supported by this charity. We wish you much success in your interviews and your future medical career.

"Jay taught me to tackle the interviews using his unique approach - to effectively tell interviewers about who you are in ways that highlight your skills in a humanistic fashion. Further, he helped me show medical schools why I was a great candidate. Jay is a key reason why I can call myself a doctor today." Anonymous, MD, University of Ottawa, School of Medicine2. "I owe my medical school acceptance to Jay. I applied and interviewed three years straight without success. Frustrated and disheartened, I could not figure out what I did wrong. The year I worked with Jay, I told myself this would be my last application. However, Jay pointed out my blind spots, shined the light on my strengths, and showed me how to demonstrate my qualities. Without his help and approach, I cannot call myself a medical student today." BH, University of British Columbia, School of Medicine3. "Hi Jay! I got in! I want to thank you again. Your personalized approach & guidance throughout the application process has been invaluable in helping me get accepted. I only wish I had known you sooner!" GL, Queen's University, School of Medicine4. "I was really worried about my interview. I often get off topic and was concerned that I wouldn't answer the questions well. Initially, I felt really scattered and unsure how to respond in the best way. Fortunately, Jay helped me develop a strategy to structure and polish my responses and represent my best self. His approach made me stand out more than my peers." SS, University of Calgary, School of Medicine"Before working with Jay, I was completely lost on how to approach the multiple mini interview. But after working with Jay, I felt 10x more confident and could organize my thoughts and deliver strong responses to many questions. He showed me the importance of personal qualities and taught me how to showcase my strengths using personal stories. I am so excited to start medical school in the fall of 2018 all thanks to his guidance. I could not have been this successful without him!"Samantha Taylor, McGill University, School of MedicineIf you find this book helpful, please leave a review.For past student testimonials, success stories, and coaching, visit: www.nextmd.ca
