Information

Interviews will occur virtually via Kira Talent.

Memorial employs two types of interviews, a multiple-mini interview (MMI) and a Competency Assessment (CA), which is centred around the CanMeds roles and asks the applicant personal questions about themselves and their experiences. 

The decision of the Interview Committee to extend or reject offers of interview is final, there is no appeal process. 

Accommodations

Memorial University’s Faculty of Medicine is committed to offering an inclusive learning environment, and this starts at the time applicants apply to medical school. Each year, several candidates require formal disability accommodations for the interview process, and the Admissions Office is committed to supporting candidates in accordance with the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Code, as well as Memorial’s Accessibility Plan for students with disabilities.

All interviews are held virtually.

Applicants to the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University who believe they will require accommodations to participate fully in the interview process, should contact Accessibility Services (Blundon Centre) at blundon@mun.ca or via phone at 709 864 2156. 

The deadline to request accomodations for your interview is November 30 in any application cycle. Please note that offers of interview may be sent within 3 weeks of the interview date. To avoid any delays in assessing your needs, applicants should anticipate being offered an interview and make an appointment to be assessed for formal accommodations as soon as their application is submitted. Requesting formal accommodations through Accessibility Services is prepatory only, in the event an interview invite is made for the MD program. The application process to medical school is separate and private from the accommodations process through Accessibility Services; the Admissions Office would only be aware of an applicant's request for accommodations in the event that they were selected for an interview and accommodations were advised by Accessibility Sercies. For more information visit Accessibility Services (the Blundon Centre).

Requesting an appointment with Accessibility Services should be done as soon as possible after the application deadline and no later than 6 weeks prior to interviews. Since interview notifications can be sent up to 3 weeks prior to the interview date, you should reach out to the Blundon Centre in anticipation of an interview.
