A team of doctors, nurses, and therapists

Members of the WBHHS community are invited to become an MMI interviewer for The University of Queensland, Medical School Multiple Mini Interviews.

UQ’s MD Program strives to be internationally renowned for the excellence of its education and the quality of its graduates.

To achieve this goal, it is essential to identify prospective students who have the potential to be outstanding doctors.

Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs) were introduced into the MD selection process in 2019, and allow assessment of a range of humanistic skills, such as communication, teamwork, empathy, and integrity.

These qualities are shown to correlate with performance in the later clinical years of the MD. MMIs are widely recognised as a best practice method to select applicants based on values-based attributes for medical training programs.

UQ invites WBHHS stakeholders to participate in the admission process. To successfully run the MMI, they need the help of a large team: clinicians, Faculty of Medicine staff, medical students, Health and Behavioural science staff and community members.

Your contribution as an interviewer is essential to enable UQ to undertake this important selection process.

If you have an interest in helping to select the next generation of doctors you can volunteer to be an MMI interviewer. You do not need to be a medical professional or have a background in medicine.

Interviews will be conducted at Hervey Bay Regional Clinical Unit on 19-20 September. Experienced UQ staff will manage the interviews and be on hand to assist.
