"Utilizing a unique combination of evidence-based advice and an insider's perspective, this book will help you achieve your ultimate goal: medical school"--P. [4] of cover.
When I was applying to medical school and received interviews with the multiple mini interview (MMI) format, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Despite researching online, reading other books I found on Amazon, and gathering information from friends, I did not fully grasp the true concept behind the MMI until attending seven of these interviews. With each interview, I got better in responding and learned from my mistakes from the previous interview. This constant real-life practice gave me enormous insight into WHAT it really takes to do well on the MMI. I noticed I was not able to find any of this information anywhere else, which led me to make this eBook. I like to think that responding to a scenario is an art. I say this because everyone will be responding differently and will approach the situation at different angles. In the past, I have heard that there is not a single right answer, but there are many wrong answers. I disagree with this partially and would like to rephrase this. There is a common RIGHT approach to every scenario and there are many WRONG approaches you can take.In this eBook, I will begin by explaining what the MMI is all about and later outline the PRINCIPLES that you should learn. The MMI is all about these principles. If you learn the main principle, you will confidently respond to the scenario despite the extra fluff or different details they provide. This is how you do well at the MMI. Along with an explanation for each principle I have also generated key buzzwords that you should mention during your response. These buzzwords are what drives the response home. It is what makes the interviewer think, "This person knows what he or she is talking about." Despite the explanations and buzzwords, I took the liberty to include numerous example scenarios and an ideal response for each. The best practice is dissecting these questions and their responses and learning the main concept behind each question. You will notice the frame of thinking, understand the principle, and recognize the lingo necessary to effectively answer each MMI question. This is how you build confidence. I have also included chapters on the role-playing station, the teamwork station, the typing writing station, and a chapter filled with example scenarios you may practice on your own. After reading through this eBook, you will be poised to attend any multiple mini interview and answer any MMI related question effectively. I am 100% confident in this statement.

"Jay taught me to tackle the interviews using his unique approach - to effectively tell interviewers about who you are in ways that highlight your skills in a humanistic fashion. Further, he helped me show medical schools why I was a great candidate. Jay is a key reason why I can call myself a doctor today." Anonymous, MD, University of Ottawa, School of Medicine2. "I owe my medical school acceptance to Jay. I applied and interviewed three years straight without success. Frustrated and disheartened, I could not figure out what I did wrong. The year I worked with Jay, I told myself this would be my last application. However, Jay pointed out my blind spots, shined the light on my strengths, and showed me how to demonstrate my qualities. Without his help and approach, I cannot call myself a medical student today." BH, University of British Columbia, School of Medicine3. "Hi Jay! I got in! I want to thank you again. Your personalized approach & guidance throughout the application process has been invaluable in helping me get accepted. I only wish I had known you sooner!" GL, Queen's University, School of Medicine4. "I was really worried about my interview. I often get off topic and was concerned that I wouldn't answer the questions well. Initially, I felt really scattered and unsure how to respond in the best way. Fortunately, Jay helped me develop a strategy to structure and polish my responses and represent my best self. His approach made me stand out more than my peers." SS, University of Calgary, School of Medicine"Before working with Jay, I was completely lost on how to approach the multiple mini interview. But after working with Jay, I felt 10x more confident and could organize my thoughts and deliver strong responses to many questions. He showed me the importance of personal qualities and taught me how to showcase my strengths using personal stories. I am so excited to start medical school in the fall of 2018 all thanks to his guidance. I could not have been this successful without him!"Samantha Taylor, McGill University, School of MedicineIf you find this book helpful, please leave a review.For past student testimonials, success stories, and coaching, visit: www.nextmd.ca
