Dear MPT Year 1 and Year 2 Students,
We are reaching out to invite you to participate as volunteers in an important Pilot “Multiple Mini Interview” (MMI) in preparation for our upcoming MPT Admissions interviews taking place February 28 + March 1st, 2026. Your involvement will help us refine our interview processes and strengthen the overall applicant experience.
Event Details Date: Friday, January 16, 2026 Time: 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. Format: Pilot MMI stations with brief orientation, guided participation and debrief
This pilot event offers a unique opportunity to:
* Gain insight into the admissions process * Strengthen your understanding of MMI-style assessment * Support the development of future cohorts entering the program * Contribute to a meaningful initiative that directly impacts program quality * By supporting the Physical Therapy Department’s Admissions Committee, you deepen your understanding of your growing role in the profession
We would be grateful for your support and enthusiasm as we test and refine the improved CLSP SimCapture processes. You all have experience with MMIs so your curiosity, and willingness to participate gives the PT Department your valuable perspective on our process.
If you are interested in volunteering, please reply to this email by December 11, 2025. Additional details, including your assigned role (candidate/interviewer) and a brief orientation package (passwords, usernames, and logins) will be shared closer to the date.
Thank you in advance for considering this request and for contributing to our ongoing efforts to improve the admissions experience for your future colleagues. Your participation is truly appreciated.
