I am a health communication professor and I work closely with the university's premed program. I sometimes do trainings prepping the students for their med school interviews and many of my students have been successfully admitted to med school. I have found this book, along with The Medical School Interview: Winning Strategies from Admissions Faculty to be the 2 essential books of prepping for med school. The best thing you can do for yourself is buying these 2 books, reading them thoroughly, and practicing more than once. Start with the other one, and then if you are informed that you will have an MMI, go ahead and read this one. If you won't have an MMI, still browse through this one because it gives you interesting ethical questions to think on, which should get your medical communication juices flowing and ready for an interview!As someone who helps train prospective med school students, I want to emphasize that whatever book you buy, you need to practice. Practice out loud and hopefully to another person who is listening to you and providing feedback.
I'm applying to veterinary schools and as there are no books pertaining specifically to vet med, I bought this book. It has been super helpful in laying out how to approach questions. The scenarios provided are great, even though they pertain to medical issues. Would highly recommend!
Pretty good book but parts of it can be pretty repetitive. There are parts where the answers sound a bit awkward if stated out loud - the introduction part of "do you think I have a good understanding of the prompt". In my MMIs I found it better to lay out the issues and discuss them rather than start with this.
Definitely a must read for anyone trying to get into medical school. The days of GPA and MCAT scores being the major determinant in one's acceptance to medical school are past. Admissions boards are looking at the complete individual. They've adopted interview techniques to get at the heart of the person. Dr. Desai helps one develop a plan to approach this paradigm shift with his distinctive and entertaining writing style. Being part of an admissions committee at other levels, he has true insider knowledge. If you don't read this, you are at a disadvantage relative to your peers.
With the MMI being a relatively new interview format, I struggled to find clear resources on how to prepare for it. Many of my friends said there wasn't a way to prepare. However, Dr. Desai's book is a must read for an applicant with an MMI, or one taking the CASPER exam. The organization and content are second to none, and he provides instructions on how to guide your thought process to respond efficiently and thoroughly to the various stations. I am confident my MMI performance is enhanced because of this book.
I am SO glad I got this book. People tell me that I've got the grades for medical school, but I think the tidbits that I've picked-up on my first read are going to be extremely helpful when I (HOPEFULLY!) interview this fall.
I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to prepare for the Multiple Mini Interview and even current medical students and practicing professionals. Dr. Desai breaks down the MMI into its components and lays out an approach that can be used for any MMI scenario - or real-life difficult patient interaction. He also discusses important ethical issues in medicine. I just had an MMI and I can say that this book was IMMENSELY helpful!
I received this book from a physician that I was shadowing. This book gives various scenarios for not only questions that may be asked during basic interviews, but also a multitude of scenarios that you may face in your professional career, which may also be tested as role playing assessments. The scenarios help give a clear idea of how the MMIs will be conducted. A simple step by step way to interact with each individual interviewer is clearly mapped out. The knowledge gained in through this book does not simply stop at the MMIs for medical school, many of the questions I read about in the book were asked by doctors who were offering research opportunities for undergraduate students. I would recommend this book to anyone hoping to pursue a career in medicine, it will be a valuable asset for future endeavors.
