Case Study: UNM College of Pharmacy saves 50+ hours with Kira Talent

Saving 50+ hours and achieving a 100% attendance rate with a new MMI process

UNM College of Pharmacy, the only pharmacy school in New Mexico, needed a way to preserve the community feel of its admissions process while making it more convenient for applicants and reviewers. After moving from in-person interviews to Zoom during the pandemic, the team looked for a better long-term solution and turned to Kira Talent to support its admissions assessments and MMI process.

Kira Talent helped UNM College of Pharmacy shift its MMI and written exercise into an asynchronous format, while keeping traditional interviews on campus. This improved flexibility, eliminated interview-day no-shows, and made the process easier for applicants and reviewers; the school reported saving over 50 hours, with staff noting the real time savings were likely even greater thanks to Kira Talent’s hands-on support.
