Abstract

The multiple mini‐interview (MMI) was initially designed to test non‐cognitive characteristics related to professionalism in entry‐level students. However, it may be testing cognitive reasoning skills. Candidates to medical and dental schools come from diverse backgrounds and it is important for the validity and fairness of the MMI that these background factors do not impact on their scores.
