The Adelaide Medicine Interview
A circuit of short, independent stations. You read a prompt, respond for a fixed time, then move to a new assessor and an unrelated scenario.
We have not verified Adelaide's interview dates for the current cycle. Undergraduate interviews across Australia generally run from November to mid-January, with invitations from mid-October — but check Adelaide's own admissions page for your year rather than relying on that range.
How to prepare for a MMI interview
- Your worst station matters more than your best. Assessors do not confer, and scores are aggregated across the circuit, so consistency beats brilliance.
- Practise finishing slightly early rather than being cut off. An assessor can only score what they actually hear.
- Drill the reset between stations. Carrying frustration from a bad station into the next one turns one weak score into three.
- Structure beats content at this length. Signpost your answer — say how many points you will make, then make them.
