Multiple Mini‐Interview (MMI) Practice Test

Addressing inequities in patient care requires a proactive, data-driven, systemic approach. The best way to respond is to gather data on wait times and outcomes by different patient groups, analyze where gaps exist, and then reflect on any biases that might influence decision-making or triage. Escalating concerns to leadership and reviewing policies for fairness helps ensure that disparities aren’t hidden or dismissed. Communicating with the patient about their experience demonstrates respect and accountability, while involving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offices or similar bodies provides expert guidance on inclusive practices. Finally, implementing concrete changes and monitoring their impact closes the loop and moves care toward equal treatment. This approach is superior because it targets root causes through evidence, accountability, and collaboration, rather than placing blame or relying on passive responses. Blaming the system and doing nothing leaves inequities unaddressed. Waiting for the patient to speak up depends on a single person’s voice and may fail to protect them. Increasing wait times would likely worsen disparities rather than reduce them.
