The Office of Admissions and Outreach is seeking volunteers to engage with our medical school applicants as virtual Multiple Mini Interview (vMMI) Raters during our Applicant Visit Days. This is the earliest opportunity for you to take part in the selection of our next class of Empathetic Scholars! The vMMI is the foundation of the admissions process and your participation will help shape the Burnett School of Medicine and the lives of future physicians for years to come.
What is a vMMI?
The virtual Multiple Mini Interview, or vMMI, consists of a series of short, structured interview stations that assess the non-cognitive qualities of an applicant for medical school. vMMIs take place via virtual platform so you can participate from anywhere! Prior to the beginning of each virtual mini interview rotation, applicants receive a scenario, have a brief period to prepare and then enter a virtual platform breakout room to engage with the rater regarding their scenario. The rater provides a numerical score and narrative about each applicant that our committee use to determine which individuals to admit to our program.
When are the vMMIs?
Applicant Visit Days will take place on Mondays approximately twice a month beginning in August and concluding in March. vMMI Raters are required to be present virtually 12:15-3:00 p.m.
What are the requirements?
NO prior training or expertise required – we will train you! vMMI Raters come from a variety of backgrounds and no prior medical or professional interviewing experience is necessary to serve; just bring your enthusiasm, compassion and desire to be a part of the Burnett School of Medicine admissions process.
We invite you to sign up for individual vMMI dates as your schedule allows.
If you are interested in joining us for individual interview day(s) this cycle, please submit your availability here no later than July 11, 2023. We will send calendar appointments for the dates you have been selected.
