What is an MMI?

An MMI is a 'Multiple Mini Interview'. Usually when you take an interview, you would sit at a desk with one to two other people who would ask you questions. This is a similar process, but there are often 6-8 different interview rooms that you visit, and the interviews each last for less than 10 minutes (depending on which university you are being interviewed at). 

Each interview has a different theme - for instance, finding out more about you, or your motivations for becoming a doctor. Some of the stations are aimed at seeing how you might approach a certain situation, such as having a conversation with a stranger or assisting someone, and have actors in the station to help them do so. The interviews are either set out in a large hall with room dividers, or in a corridor with several little meeting rooms.
