A multiple-mini interview (MMI) for emergency medicine residency admissions: A brief report and qualitative analysis

Introduction: A multiple-mini interview (MMI) is a type ofstructured interview, which may assess many non-cognitivedomains in residency applicants. There are few studies on MMIduring the emergency medicine (EM) residency admissionsprocess in the United States.

A Brief Philosophical Encounter with Science and Medicine

We show a lot of respect for science today. To back up our claims, we tend to appeal to scientific methods. It seems that we all agree that these methods are effective for gaining the truth.

Swarm Robotics Algorithms: A Survey

Swarm robotics is a relatively new field that focuses on controlling large-scale homogeneous multi-robot systems. We survey six example swarm robotics control algorithms to give a brief overview of the current state of the cutting-edge. Experimental results show that swarm robotics algorithms are scalable, fault tolerant, robust and efficient. These favorable results stem from the algorithms be...
