Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI) are an increasingly popular tool for selecting entrants to undergraduate degree programs in dentistry in the United Kingdom. This article reports on the use of MMI to select dental students at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom, over two successive admissions cycles (2011-12 and 2012-13). MMI provided an efficient means to discriminate between the performance of applicants who were all academically highly qualified, with total scores ranging from 35 percent to 87 percent of the maximum possible score. Female candidates performed significantly better than male candidates when assessed by total score (p=0.011; mean score 94.4 for female applicants and 91.9 for male applicants) and by outcome (offer/decline; p=0.016; 58.6 percent of female and 46.4 percent of male interviewees received an offer of study following interview). There was no statistically significant effect of starting station on candidate performance (p=0.359), indicating that a candidate's overall chance of success in the MMI was not influenced by which station he or she experienced first. Stakeholder acceptance was good, with 75 percent of candidates and 95 percent of assessors preferring MMI over traditional interviews.
多站式面试（MMI）是英国用于选择牙科学士学位课程入学申请人的一种越来越流行的工具。本文报告了在英国布里斯托大学（University of Bristol）连续两个招生周期（2011-12 年和 2012-13 年）中使用 MMI 选拔牙科学生的情况。MMI 提供了一种有效的方法来区分表现优异的申请人，他们在学术上都非常优秀，总得分范围从最高总分的 35%到 87%。在总得分（p=0.011；女性申请人的平均得分为 94.4，男性申请人的平均得分为 91.9）和结果（录取/拒绝；p=0.016；58.6%的女性和 46.4%的男性面试者在面试后获得了学习机会）方面，女性候选人的表现明显优于男性候选人。候选人的表现与起始站之间没有统计学上的显著影响（p=0.359），这表明候选人在 MMI 中的整体成功机会不受他或她首先经历的站的影响。利益相关者的接受度较好，75%的候选人以及 95%的评估者都更喜欢 MMI 而不是传统面试。
