BACKGROUND
The Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) is a structured interview format that involves a series of station-based assessment, commonly used for medical admissions. With the COVID-19 pandemic, MMIs transitioned to an online format to ensure continuity. However, the effectiveness and reception of online MMIs remain unexplored. This study aims to assess the experiences and feedback of interviewees, interviewers and technical facilitators regarding a pilot implementation of online MMIs for newly accepted medical students.
METHODS
This descriptive survey at the School of Medicine, The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine, involved year 1 medical students, interviewers, and technical facilitators who participated in the virtual MMI. We developed three self-directed questionnaires for interviewees (19 items), interviewers (14 items), and technical staff (09 items) based on literature. We administered the web-based questionnaires to the participants from the 2021 and 2022 mmIs. Data analysis used SPSS version 29, applying descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Open-ended responses were analysed thematically.
RESULTS
The majority of interviewees (85.2% in 2021 and 91.1% in 2022 with median = 3, IQR = 1) agreed that MMI helped to assess their non-academic personal attributes, interests, and motivation to study medicine which are vital to the success of health care providers. Interviewers also believed that (80% with median = 3 and IQR = 0 in 2021 and 90.6% with median = 3 and IQR = 1 in 2022) MMI is a good measure to assess the non-cognitive ability of projection medical students. The MMI technical facilitators believed that the MMI process was well organized, and they were happy with the time management.
CONCLUSION
The study highlights the feasibility and benefits of the virtual MMIs, with interviewees, interviewers, and technical facilitators expressing predominantly positive perspective on the piloted approach. Utilizing technology for conducting virtual MMI is a welcomed innovation, even in the post-pandemic era. However, to optimize their effectiveness, the admission staff should refine the selection of cases, enhance the scoring system, improve time management strategies, and strengthen infrastructure and technical support.
背景
多重迷你面试（MMI）是一种结构化面试形式，包含一系列基于站点的评估，常用于医学招生。随着新冠疫情的爆发，MMI转变为在线形式以确保连续性。然而，在线MMI的有效性和接受度仍未得到探索。本研究旨在评估受访者、面试官和技术协调员对于新录取医学生在线MMI试点实施的体验和反馈。
方法
这项在西印度群岛大学（UWI）圣奥古斯丁医学院进行的描述性调查，涉及参与虚拟MMI的一年级医学生、面试官和技术协调员。我们根据文献为受访者（19项）、面试官（14项）和技术人员（9项）编制了三份自主问卷。我们向2021年和2022年MMI的参与者发放了基于网络的问卷。数据分析使用SPSS 29版，应用描述性统计和卡方检验。对开放式回答进行主题分析。
结果
大多数受访者（2021年为85.2%，2022年为91.1%，中位数 = 3，四分位间距 = 1）同意MMI有助于评估他们的非学术个人特质、兴趣以及学习医学的动力，这些对于医疗保健提供者的成功至关重要。面试官也认为（2021年80%，中位数 = 3，四分位间距 = 0；2022年90.6%，中位数 = 3，四分位间距 = 1）MMI是评估未来医学生非认知能力的良好方式。MMI技术协调员认为MMI流程组织良好，他们对时间管理感到满意。
结论
该研究突出了虚拟MMI的可行性和益处，受访者、面试官和技术协调员对试点方法主要持积极态度。利用技术进行虚拟MMI是一项受欢迎的创新，即使在疫情后时代也是如此。然而，为了优化其有效性，招生人员应完善案例选择、加强评分系统、改进时间管理策略，并加强基础设施和技术支持。
