At ProspectHR MMI our mission is to help change the world, one admission into a professional school and one hire at a time. That’s why we’re excited to announce that this year, we proudly welcomed Ponce University from Puerto Rico and the Emirates Health Services of the United Arab Emirates into our growing family of clients. 

Ponce Health Sciences University based in Ponce, Puerto Rico boasts over 45 years of experience in providing world-class education to highly qualified students across the programs offered in our academic portfolio. Throughout their history, they have produced over 4,000 graduates in Medicine, Clinical Psychology, Biomedical Sciences, Public Health, Nursing, and soon, Dental Medicine. 

The team at Ponce University sought a more effective method for evaluating prospective medical students. This need led them to engage in discovery sessions with ProspectHR MMI. Following these sessions the Ponce team recognized the value of incorporating the proven MMI process into their student assessments to meet their goal of selecting individuals with academic excellence and exceptional soft skills, ensuring the emergence of outstanding graduates.

During Ponce’s onboarding process, we were pleased to discover that with Word Translator our stations and support seamlessly translated from English to Spanish. 

When asked what the inclusion of Ponce University meant to ProspectHR MMI, Jack Rosenfeld, COO and Professor Emeritus at McMaster University said, “This partnership marks a significant milestone for us. Our stations and system will be utilized, for the first time in Spanish.” 

Also joining the ProspectHR MMI client list this year is the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE will be employing ProspectHR MMI to assess potential members of their Public Health team during the hiring process. 

The UAE conducted their MMI leveraging our "Electronic Capture System," enabling the online recording of all scores and comments. This system, a step below a fully online experience, underscores the operational effectiveness of our MMI in the digital realm. Our collaboration with the UAE serves as evidence that our MMI is valuable for clients, countries and cultures considering its integration into their selection processes. 

While working with the UAE, we anticipated a degree of station customization to integrate with their unique culture. The team reports that, in fact, very little customization was required. Similar to Ponce University, the UAE represents another pivotal achievement for our team, the ability to be implemented in a non-North American culture.

As with all clients, there were choices when it came to which skills assessment provider would be used. In both Ponce University and the UAE, after extensive vetting and research, the choice was ProspectHR MMI. Our core difference is a comprehensive program backed by decades of research and data supporting our process and stations. This is why Ponce University, the United Arab Emirates and hundreds of other clients have confidently selected our program and support team. 

If your institution, municipality, or company is interested in learning more about making a positive impact on the world, one university admission or one employer recruitment at a time, please reach out. Our team of experts is always ready to guide you through our approach and evidence-based system.
