A new faculty
Medicine, and Health and Behavioural Sciences have been combined into a new faculty, Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences (HMBS), from 1 January 2025.
Some information remains on this website in the short term while we continue to build the new HMBS site.
Our MD Program strives to be internationally renowned for the excellence of our education and the quality of our graduates. We aim to provide exemplary education to enable our students to become safe and effective interns and adaptable, life-long learners committed to improving patient and public health. To achieve this goal, it is essential to identify prospective students who have the potential to be outstanding doctors.
Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs) were introduced into the MD selection process in 2019, and allow assessment of a range of humanistic skills, such as communication, teamwork, empathy, and integrity. These qualities are shown to correlate with performance in the later clinical years of the MD. MMIs are widely recognised as a best practice method to select applicants based on values-based attributes for medical training programs.
1. Who can be MMI interviewer?
We invite our community of diverse stakeholders to participate in the admission process, these are clinicians, community members, and UQ academic and professional staff. You do not need to be a medical professional or have a background in medicine. However, we do not allow high school teachers, guidance counsellors or interview coaches to be interviewers.
The interview selection process is an integral part of selecting students to be trained as our future medical workforce.
