ABSTRACT
The medical school admissions process seeks to assess a core set of cognitive and non-cognitive competencies that reflect professional readiness and institutional mission alignment. The standardized format of multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) can enhance assessments, and thus many medical schools have switched to this for candidate interviews. However, because MMIs are resource-intensive, admissions deans use a variety of interviewers from different backgrounds/professions. Here, we analyze the MMI process for the 2018 admissions cycle at the VCU School of Medicine, where 578 applicants were interviewed by 126 raters from five distinct backgrounds clinical faculty, basic science faculty, medical students, medical school administrative staff, and community members. We found that interviewer background did not significantly influence MMI evaluative performance scoring, which eliminates a potential concern about the consistency and reliability of assessment.
