Leveling the playing field: evaluating measurement equivalence in MMIs between genders
The results provided empirical support for the factorial validity and measurement fairness of the MMI across gender groups. However, the consistent gender-based performance differences highlight the need for continued research into potential sources of group disparities and how they may impact selections equity. The results are relevant for medical educators and policymakers committed to evidence-based and equitable selection processes.
