As of 2013, there were 33 allopathic medical schools in the United States and Canada as well as 4 osteopathic medical schools in the United States using the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) format for admission interviews. See the list of schools utilizing this interview format. 

If you received an interview invitation at a school which utilizes the MMI format, it is important you know about this style so you can best prepare. To learn more, check out this video explaining how Virginia Tech Carilion Medical School organizes their process.
