Mastering The Multiple Mini Interview for PA School Interviews
A 1 Week Step-By-Step Course To Ace Your MMI
A Word From Dr. Rachel Rizal:
Hi Physician Assistant Applicants!
My name is Rachel Rizal, and I'll be your instructor for the "Mastering The Multiple Mini Interview” course.
Are you worried about doing well on your PA Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)? Don’t worry, I was too.
I was part of Stanford Medical School’s first batch of applicants who went through the MMI interview process. “How do I stand out? What’s the best way to answer PA MMI questions? What if there are actors in the room and I have to role play? What if I blank out when I meet an interviewer? Can I prepare for my PA MMI?”
These questions – and more – were swimming in my head... similar questions that you may be having right now as your MMI interview is fast approaching.
Luckily, I got accepted to Stanford School of Medicine!
Fast forward a few years, and I became an interviewer for Stanford Multiple Mini Interviews. I learned how to differentiate between GOOD versus GREAT versus STELLAR applicants. I have been in your shoes and the interviewer’s shoes.
Which is why, I created this Multiple Mini Interview course! I want to help YOU succeed and shine during YOUR interview day. I will help you get STELLAR MMI scores!
For the past few years, I coached and prepared pre-meds to ace their MMIs. And they have been very successful!
These are some of the schools with Multiple Mini Interviews that our students have been accepted to:
- Stanford
- NYU
- University of California, San Diego (UCSD)
- University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
- University of California, Davis (UCD)
Don’t leave a physician assistant school acceptance to chance.

- Jennifer, current student at University of California, Davis
"Thank you so much Rachel - I just finished my interview and your tips helped a lot! One interviewer's style was different from those of other interviewers I had before (he had rapid-fired questions and seemed to gauge how I adapted), but I think I responded well. I was able to incorporate "why" I wanted to go to that medical school throughout my interview."
