Multiple mini-interviews is a predictor of students' academic achievements in early undergraduate medical years: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our study determined Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) effectiveness in evaluating specific skill sets based on medical students' performances during the undergraduate years and compared the academic performances of medical students who appeared for onsite/online MMI.

Methods

A retrospective study of 140 undergraduate medical students between 2016 and 2020 included data on age, gender, pre-university results, MMI scores, and examination results. Appropriate non-parametric tests were applied to compare the students' MMI and academic performances.

Results

Ninety-eight students from cohorts 12 to 15 had an overall MMI score of 69.0(IQR: 65.0-73.2)/100 and an overall Cumulative Grade Point Average(GPA) of 3.64 (3.42-3.78)/5.0. Spearman's correlation revealed a sign
