ABSTRACT
We aim to evaluate the association between family income and mock multiple mini interview (MMI) performance for prospective medical school applicants. Each applicant participated in a three-station mock MMI and were scored on four items, each on a sevenpoint scale. Of the 48 prospective applicants participating, 29 (60% survey response rate) completed the survey. Hispanic applicants were significantly more likely to have a family income of less than or equal to $20,000 versus more than $20,000 (p<.05). The adjusted analysis suggested mock MMI total score was significantly lower for prospective medical school applicants with family incomes of less than or equal to $20,000 versus more than $20,000 (ß coefficient 5.37, 95% CI 0.05-10.69, p = .048). The mock MMI performance of prospective applicants with lower family incomes indicates the need for further interview skill preparation or new interview scoring protocols.
