PowerPoints/Handouts Available

Track: Talent Management

Obtaining multiple applicant biopsies in varying contexts in bell-ringer circuits, the Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) predicts future performance twice as strongly as gold standard traditional interviews. Based upon 10 years of research at McMaster University, its higher reliability (0.7), predictive validity (0.4), interviewer and applicant acceptability, lower liability, and neutrality on diversity are presented. The MMI is presently used in health care schools worldwide, with potential application to any institution with large applicant numbers for high-stakes positions.
