Rosalind Franklin University – Chicago Medical School Interview Questions

General Interview Information
Picture
​Interview Format
​
Applicants are interviewed through Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI). Candidates are given five minutes to answer questions and respond to scenarios at each station. Some stations require interaction with an interviewer, while others will assess the candidates’ ability to interact with other applicants. There is a one and a half minute break to allow candidates to move between stations.

The MMI does not assess any specific knowledge related to science or the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. There are often no right or wrong answer for many of the scenarios candidates will encounter. However, candidates’ responses will provide interviewers with valuable insight as to how they may respond to issues within the program or a clinical environment. The interview is designed to assess non-cognitive qualities including:
  • Responsibility,
  • Teamwork,
  • Empathy,
  • Ethical and moral judgement and
  • Communication skills


Key Dates
​

Interviews generally take place between August and March.
