UC College of Nursing recruiting MMI raters
The University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Nursing is recruiting raters for multiple mini interviews (MMI) used as part of the admission process for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. MMIs are a research-based interviewing process that identifies non-cognitive indicators linked to specific desired attributes often seen in great students, great nurses, great leaders and great employees. This process is also being used in the Nurse Anesthesia Doctorate of Nursing Practice program, as well as in several medical schools throughout the country, including the UC College of Medicine.
No prior interviewing, nursing, or health care experience is necessary to be a MMI rater but online training is required. Becoming a MMI rater can provide skills that allow for personal and professional growth. The online training takes up to 90 minutes and once completed raters can participate in as few as one or as many as four circuits per interview day. Raters will evaluate the same attribute for six to 10 candidates in each circuit.
The College of Nursing is looking for raters to take part in the MMI candidate interview process at Procter Hall on a variety of dates starting in November and continuing into January. Click here for more information.
To get started, please see this instruction sheet. At the end of the training, raters will be prompted to sign up for the dates and times that work best for them. For additional information, please contact Krista Maddox, assistant dean for student affairs of the College of Nursing, at Krista.Maddox@uc.edu.
