Qualitative studies of the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) have investigated the attitudes and thoughts of prospective students and interviewers (i.e., raters) on the MMI interview, but none have examined rater's written assessments. Concerns regarding what the MMI measures, especially across and within each interview, have sparked investigations to determine how and what raters are measuring. Raters communicate their student evaluation(s) through numerical ratings and written comments that provide score context. This study explores rater's written comments to better understand the specific information gathered during the MMI process that contributes to interviewee evaluations.
