The University of Sheffield’s Multiple Mini Interview comprises of eight stations. Each station typically lasts eight minutes. The focus of these stations will be centred on the following criteria:
The MMI interviewers are medical educationalists, medically qualified senior members of staff, biomedical scientists, junior hospital doctors, senior hospital doctors, general practitioners, senior nurses, senior medical students and lay people.
For students having their interview outside of the UK will have a traditional, 30-minute panel interview using MMI based questions.
Sheffield will run MMIs in December 2021 and January 2022. For applicants from South East Asia, Medical School staff will be conducting panel-based interviews in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in January 2022. The Multiple Mini-Interviews comprise a series of eight stations. If you are invited to attend an interview at Sheffield you will be sent the MMI questions with your invitation.

General/Personal Statement Station: This station will reflect a traditional Medicine interview encompassing your experiences in a caring role as well as your capacity for self-reflection. You should be prepared to substantiate all mentions from your personal statement as well as comments from your tutor references (the latter of which, candidates will not know). Questions at this station have previously included:
Motivation and Insight into Medicine: This station examines your motivation for studying medicine and an understanding of the nature of medicine. Questions at this station may include:
Science/Medical Station: In this station, you will not be expected to have detailed knowledge of medical processes. However, the interviewers will expect you to have an informed layperson’s view on contemporary aspects of medicine, particularly those of current media interest. Recent questions have included the following, with model answers available in our Online MMI Question Bank:
Communication Station: This skill can often be combined with other stations, rather than just in isolation. Review BlackStone Tutors “The 7 Stages of MMI Communication Stations” to maximise your performance in this station.
Ethical Dilemma: The interviewers will likely provide you with an ethical dilemma/scenario. This will almost certainly not have a ‘right’ answer and instead the interviewers are interested in your ability to express and defend opposing views, as well as having an underlying awareness for medical ethics and its core principals. Recent MMI ethical cases include the following:
Calculation Station: Calculation questions can vary from drug calculations to working out volumes, concentrations and flow rates. A range of calculation questions with techniques and model answers can be found in the Online MMI Question Bank.
