Introduction  In this paper we report on further tests of the validity of the multiple mini‐interview (MMI) selection process, comparing MMI scores with those achieved on a national high‐stakes clinical skills examination. We also continue to explore the stability of candidate performance and the extent to which so‐called ‘cognitive’ and ‘non‐cognitive’ qualities should be deemed independent of one another.

Predictive validity of the Dundee multiple mini‐interview
The multiple mini‐interview (MMI) is the primary admissions tool used to assess non‐cognitive skills at Dundee Medical School. Although the MMI shows promise, more research is required to demonstrate…
The Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) in medical student selection
TLDR
The Deakin MMI was found to be reliable and useful in predicting performance during the medical course when used with other established selection criteria such as GPA.
Multiple mini‐interview test characteristics: ‘tis better to ask candidates to recall than to imagine
TLDR
The purpose of this study was to explore the MMI's test characteristics when station type is manipulated.
Multiple mini‐interviews: same concept, different approaches
TLDR
This article systematically reviews the existing MMI literature to identify the aspects of MMI design that have impact on the reliability, validity and cost‐efficiency of the format.

TLDR
Research exists on the predictive validity of multiple mini interviews when used when used during the selection process for physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy.
The utility of multiple mini-interviews: experience of a medical school
TLDR
The design of multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) as a tool to assess medical school applicants’ attributes in alignment with the school’s educational goals and its utility are introduced to evaluate its utility.
A critical perspective on the modified personal interview
TLDR
It was concluded that assumptions made at the ‘Scoring’ and ‘Generalization’ levels had the least support in the modified personal interview, and it was recommended that in-person rater training become mandatory and the number of stations increase twofold from four to eight.
The multiple mini-interviews as a predictor of peer evaluations during clinical training in medical school*
TLDR
This study provides important evidence for the validity of the MMI and two questionnaires when compared with the peer assessment tool based on assessments given to 99 fourth-year medical students.
Internet‐based multiple mini‐interviews for candidate selection for graduate entry programmes
TLDR
The feasibility, acceptability and cost‐effectiveness of the iMMI are described and the MMI scores derived from both methods were determined to be comparable.

Discerning quality: using the multiple mini‐interview in student selection for the Australian National University Medical School
TLDR
A set of admissions instruments based on the McMaster University multiple mini‐interview and designed to assess desirable, non‐cognitive characteristics in order to inform final decisions on candidate selection for entry to medical school are described.
Factors affecting the utility of the multiple mini‐interview in selecting candidates for graduate‐entry medical school
Context  We wished to determine which factors are important in ensuring interviewers are able to make reliable and valid decisions about the non‐cognitive characteristics of candidates when selecting…
An admissions OSCE: the multiple mini‐interview
TLDR
This work has attempted to develop a multiple sample approach to the personal interview, Hypothesising that many of the problems with the personal interviews might be explained by it being yet another measurement tool that is plagued by context specificity.
Multiple mini‐interviews predict clerkship and licensing examination performance
Objective  The Multiple Mini‐Interview (MMI) has previously been shown to have a positive correlation with early medical school performance. Data have matured to allow comparison with clerkship…
The Ability of the Multiple Mini-Interview to Predict Preclerkship Performance in Medical School
TLDR
While further validity testing is required, the MMI appears better able to predict preclerkship performance relative to traditional tools designed to assess the noncognitive qualities of applicants.
Assessment of non‐cognitive traits through the admissions multiple mini‐interview
TLDR
Traditional medical school admissions interviews have strong face validity but provide evidence for only low reliability and validity, and do not provide a standardised, defensible and fair process for all applicants.
Using the Judgments of Physician Examiners in Setting the Standards for a National Multi-center High Stakes OSCE
TLDR
The goal of this article is to describe the new approach to set the pass mark on its large scale, multi-center national OSCE which is designed to assess basic clinical and communication skills in physicians in Canada after 15 months of post-graduate medical training.
Validity of Admissions Measures in Predicting Performance Outcomes: The Contribution of Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Dimensions
TLDR
Undergraduate GPAs have the most utility in predicting both academic and clinical performance, and the MCAT Verbal Reasoning score and the personal interview were found to be useful in predicting communication skills on the LMCC Part II.
The Relationship between Interviewers’ Characteristics and Ratings Assigned during a Multiple Mini-Interview
TLDR
The MMI provides a reliable protocol for assessing the personal qualities of candidates by accounting for context specificity with a multiple sampling approach and increasing the heterogeneity of interviewers may increase theogeneity of the accepted group of candidates.
Knowledge and clinical problem‐solving
TLDR
The results suggest that variability in problem‐solving scores is related to factors other than content knowledge, and several possibilities are discussed.
