Monash MMI

[Hello132]

Hi everyone,

With the Monash MMI, I was just wondering if there are stations that ask personal questions e.g. Why do you want to do med, what are your strengths etc etc. Or is it solely scenario based?

Thanks!

Hi!

From what I've heard, it has both.

According to the interview website:

MMI Stations comprise a series of scenarios and associated questions focusing on an applicant’s:

advocacy
collaboration
critical thinking
empathy
ethical reasoning
motivation;

There's a website that you might find to be helpful called pagingdr.net, which has plenty of past interview questions.

Good luck!

Just an FYI, you need to be 18+ to register to pagingdr. I also recommend medstudentsonline, which also has some great interview practice threads you can use, as well as question banks for MMI and panel-style interviews. You need to be prepared for both personal and scenario-based questions for all medicine interviews, not only for the answering interview questions, but also because knowing why you want to do medicine and other such questions are important things to consider for yourself too.
