Interview details
Confirmed
The interview is a virtual process hosted on Microsoft Teams and Kira Talent.

Larner Interview Overview
Not published
The official pages do not publish the number or duration of MMI stations, scoring rubric, station prompts, or a school-specific question list. Do not add those details.
Who this program may suit
This process may suit applicants who want a broad, service-oriented medical education and can show academic readiness, curiosity, ethical responsibility, teamwork, communication, and sustained service. Applicants should be comfortable preparing for both a structured virtual day and an MMI circuit while following Kira and Teams technical requirements. These are preparation considerations, not a prediction of admission. Official program/admissions source
Practice and next step
Start with the linked fairness prompt. Record a spoken response, review your stakeholder analysis, communication, and decision trade-offs, adjust one concrete improvement, record again, and compare the two attempts. Then practise a short MMI-length version.
