350+ MMI Practice Questions

Browse by Question Type
MMI stations fall into seven recurring question types that appear across virtually all countries and programs. Each type tests different competencies and requires a different answer framework - recognizing the type is the first step to answering well. Ethics and situational questions are the most common, but a real MMI circuit will rotate through several types, so you need to be prepared for all of them.

Example ethics questions
Ethics question bankShould students from disadvantaged backgrounds receive preferential admission to health professions programs?
A cosmetics company has developed an ingredient that may significantly reduce burn scarring. Regulators require animal testing before human trials. Alternative testing methods exist but are less validated. How would you weigh human benefit, animal welfare, and scientific certainty against each other?
Do you think it is ever ethical to lie to a patient?
Questions by Country
While most MMI question types are universal, certain types - especially policy and ethics - shift significantly based on the healthcare system where your school is located. Canadian MMIs frequently reference pharmacare, MAiD, and indigenous health. UK stations draw on NHS funding dilemmas and the GMC framework. Australian questions address rural health equity and indigenous communities. US questions reflect the fragmented insurance landscape and health disparities.
Practicing with country-specific questions prepares you for the local issues your interviewers will expect you to know about. Select a country below, or visit the dedicated question bank.

Canada is the only high-income country with universal hospital and physician coverage but no universal drug coverage. What do you think?
Practice with AI interviewerIndigenous women in Canada reported being coerced into sterilization procedures - sometimes while in labour. A healthcare professional argued this was 'a product of its time.' What do you think?
Practice with AI interviewerMost questions are universal. Country-specific banks focus on questions where local context matters.
Questions by Program
Many MMI questions are shared across health professions, but some schools include scenarios specific to their field. Veterinary programs ask about euthanasia ethics and the cost of animal care when owners cannot pay. Dental MMIs cover pediatric restraint, cosmetic over-treatment, and insurance fraud. Pharmacy stations present prescription dilemmas and dosage errors. Medical programs raise questions about patient autonomy, end-of-life care, and reporting impaired colleagues.

What a Strong Answer Looks Like
Each question type requires a different framework. Select a type to see a question with a step-by-step breakdown of how a top candidate would approach it. These are starting points, not scripts - the best answers adapt the framework to the specific question while keeping the structure intact.
Is it ethical for pharmaceutical companies to charge high prices for life-saving medications?
Opinion Framework (Ethics)
Name the dilemma, present both sides, commit to a position, acknowledge its limits.
Acknowledge the tension
"This gets at the tension between two legitimate interests: the right of patients to access life-saving medication regardless of income, and the economic reality that drug development requires massive investment..."
Explore perspectives
"Without profit incentives, companies may not invest in R&D for rare diseases. On the other hand, when a company charges $100,000 for a drug that costs $5 to produce, the gap raises serious questions about who medications are being developed for..."
Take a position
"I believe some form of pricing regulation is justified for life-saving medications, because allowing market forces alone to determine access to drugs people will die without creates an inherently coercive dynamic..."
Address limitations
"The challenge is that heavy-handed price caps can reduce investment in future development. Any regulation would need tiered pricing or publicly funded R&D for diseases where the market alone won't deliver..."
These are just examples
The app has all 350+ questions. Practice any of them live with an AI interviewer that asks follow-ups and scores your content and delivery.
How to Practice Effectively
Answer out loud, under timed conditions
Set an 8-minute timer and speak your answer start to finish. Practicing in your head does not build the verbal fluency you need.
Mix question types in each session
Do not do 10 ethics questions in a row. A real MMI circuit switches types every station. Aim for 4-6 questions across at least 3 types per session.
Identify the question type first
Once you know the type, you know which framework to use. This is the single most important habit to build.
Get feedback on delivery, not just content
Record yourself, practice with a partner, or use our AI mock interview which scores both dimensions. Most candidates over-prepare content and under-prepare delivery.
Do at least 15-20 stations before your interview
This is where the steepest improvement happens. After 20 stations, gains become more incremental - but those first 15-20 are critical.
