Would you like to help us select the next class of medical students? We're looking for current students to serve as interviewers for our Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) process. Your role as an interviewer would be to assess the personal qualities of College
of Medicine applicants who have demonstrated strong academic standing, MCAT scores, and relevant personal experiences. Interviewers aid the Admissions Committee in the decision making process of an applicant.</div>
