Check out this article from the American Medical Association on one hospital's use of a patient-physician matchmaking event based on the speed-dating model. Patients have a chance to screen physicians for a period of 5 minutes before deciding if they want to make an appointment with the doc. This has apparently supplemented the hospital's marketing efforts and appears to be a successful program. Could a new question to the medical school application ask: what experience have you had with speed-dating? More importantly, were you successful??
