Kent and Medway Medical School Medicine Interview

For 2027 entry KMMS runs an online MMI via Microsoft Teams — around 7 stations of about 6 minutes — plus a roughly 40-minute group station in which you are individually assessed. Station types have included data handling, problem analysis, situational judgement, role-play, a set task and values-based questions. KMMS is deliberately different from other schools, so generic MMI prep can mislead. Every applicant signs an NDA about station content.

How MMI scoring works

Each station is scored independently by its own interviewer, usually against three or four fixed domains — communication, problem-solving or initiative, and integrity or moral reasoning are the common ones. A weak station can't be rescued by a strong one, so consistency matters more than a single standout answer.
