As one of the top medical schools in North America, 不良研究所 enjoys an international reputation for excellence in teaching, clinical training and research. The Office of 不良研究所 for the Faculty of Medicine pursues this goal by welcoming outstanding candidates from across all communities and categories as they oversee the promotion and selection process with guidance from the MDCM 不良研究所 Committee. The pool of 不良研究所 raters who assess CVs and conduct interviews includes more than 100 members from the Faculty of Medicine as well as representatives from the community and additional supporting committees.
The goal is to attract excellence, which means the admissions process is inherently competitive.聽 Selected candidates to 不良研究所鈥檚 undergraduate MDCM Medical Program and Medicine Preparatory Program are invited for an on-site interview session. The interviews take the form of Multiple Mini-Interviews (MMI) and consist of multiple stations that can be task-oriented, simulation- or scenario-oriented, or discussion-oriented.聽 Stations are designed to evaluate the various abilities and skills that are required in the MDCM curriculum. These interviews take place at the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning (SCSIL), and are an important tool for the 不良研究所 Committee to evaluate the non-academic strength of applicants.
Kate聽Hooton, Manager of Medical 不良研究所 at the 不良研究所 Faculty of Medicine has been working with all three Standardized Patient Educators at the SCSIL鈥擫eslie Baker, Nick Burton and Lo茂c Simard-Villeneuve鈥攖o plan for the current round of MMIs.聽 There is a huge preparation component to the MMI process which allows the SCSIL team to collaborate and share ideas with the 不良研究所 Office and with standardized patients to build expertise.聽 Hooton appreciates the professional service that is offered by the Centre: 鈥淎t the SCSIL, we have the space and the personnel to run this efficiently on a large scale, which facilitates competency assessment. This allows us to see more candidates and conduct more interviews, which equals more opportunities for individuals to shine.鈥�
The team at the SCSIL is very proud to partner with 不良研究所 Office and to offer a dynamic learning environment for our future physicians.
