Abstract :
This is a letter in response to the recent study published by Burgos LM et al (1). Whilst
many studies on the use of the multiple miniinterview (MMI) in medical school admissions
exist, there has been a paucity of studies
investigating the use of the MMI in residency
programmes, with this study being the first, to
the best of our knowledge. We, therefore, would
like to commend the authors for their valuable
data.
Whilst we agree with the notion that the MMI
is a more reliable and feasible tool in assessing
the candidates, there are a few limitations of
this format that we would like to add to the comprehensive analysis presented in this paper.
