Message from the Program Director:

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your interest in MBRU’s Endodontic Residency Program at the Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine (HBMCDM) and Dubai Dental Hospital (DDH), the first post-graduate endodontic program in the UAE and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to receive accreditation from the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS).

Our program is unique in multiple ways. Our faculty members and consultants are well versed in their field, they received their trainings at prestigious universities around the world, enriching and diversifying their clinical and teaching experience. This will create an environment in which residents will be exposed to different school of thoughts.

Moreover, the training will be conducted at Dubai Dental Hospital, the largest dental hospital in Dubai, a state-of-the-art facility that is equipped with latest dental technologies. At Dubai Dental Hospital, residents will be trained on a wide range of non-surgical and surgical clinical competencies through managing a broad range of complex cases. Another distinctive feature of our program is the eligibility of our residents to take Saudi Board examinations, after the completion of the 3-year residency program. The Saudi Specialty Certificate in Endodontics issued by the SCFHS is recognized by the UAE PQR as Tier 2 qualification.

Our residents will also have the opportunity to access world class research facilities at MBRU, allowing them to learn and enhance their research skills in clinical and non-clinical areas.

Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI)

At MBRU we believe that to excel in your career, not only do we need to give you the best education in the classroom, but also outside of it, and to become an exceptional doctor requires the development of these “soft” skills.

To be accepted at MBRU, we conduct a series of multiple mini interviews. A process which is comprised of several short independent assessment interviews, typically arranged in a timed circuit.

The process results in an aggregate score of each candidates’ non-cognitive (“soft”) skills such as interpersonal skills, professionalism, and moral judgment. It’s been so successful that since its introduction in 2004, the MMI process has been adopted by medical, dental and pharmacy schools around the world.

The interview scenarios are designed to test non-cognitive competencies which are key to medicine, such as:

  • Communication Skills
  • Problem-solving
  • Empathy
  • Moral/ethical reasoning
  • Decision-making

Although participants must relate to the scenario posed at each station, it is important to note that the MMI is not intended to test specific knowledge in the field. Instead, the assessors evaluate each candidate’s thought process and the ability to think ‘on his or her feet’. As such, there are no right or wrong answers to the questions posed in an MMI, but each applicant should consider the question from a variety of perspectives.

The MMI process

At the start of each mini-interview rotation, a candidate receives a question/scenario and has a short period of time (typically one minute) to prepare an answer. Upon entering the interview room, the candidate has a short exchange with an assessor (usually about 5 minutes). In some cases, the assessor observes while an interaction takes place between a simulated patient (a role player) and the candidate.

At the end of each mini-interview, the assessor evaluates the candidate’s performance on the activity against set criteria, while the applicant moves to the next station. This pattern is repeated through a number of rotations (usually 10-15).  Some stations are designated as “rest stations” meaning that no interview takes place. The candidate is expected to sit quietly during that time. The duration of the entire interview is usually about 90 minutes (1½ hours).
