Be sure to research the mission and values of the medical school you are interviewing with before your MMI. The program's website will have some great information about its culture, mission, and values.

"I took the time to read the mission and values of your College of Medicine, and so many pieces hit home for me. In today's day and age, being at the forefront of technology and advancements is very important to me in obtaining my MD. I love how your program prioritizes utilizing innovative technologies, models of care delivery, and groundbreaking research. These are so important to the future of medicine and something I can't wait to be a part of here at your university. In looking to join a medical school that is people focused, it is quite obvious that students of this program are taught culturally sensitive patient-centered care. As a hopeful medical student looking to pursue a career in family practice, finding a school that focuses on the needs of the patient is my top priority, and I'm confident I found that here."

You will have six to eight minutes to answer each question during the MMI, so you have time to go into detail about why they do the school's mission and values appeal to you. Pick a few statements that resonate with you, and then use real-life examples of how you've lived the mission and values of the medical school you are interviewing with. Don't hesitate to relate the mission to your desire to train and practice as a future physician.
