These are sample questions from my admissions interview for Physician Assistant at the University of Utah. Yours may vary......... Just be prepared for whatever you say to get a follow up question and to defend your response.
-Why did you apply to _________?
-What medical career did you have before and why are you changing to PA?
-What type of PA work do you want to do?
-What is the history of the PA program?
-Are you prepared to live here?
-What about your spouse?
-Tell us about your volunteer work.
-What animal do you identify with and why?
-Tell us about a patient encounter that changed you.
-What is some constructive criticism you have received?
-What makes you happy, gives you joy?
You will be asked ethical questions about PA's, medicine as an industry and things about your personality. All on top of what you would consider to be standard questions.
Dress well, don't be too aggressive, listen, follow all directions and be sociable. Smile. Relax. Make friends.
Like me, if you made it this far you have a 50/50 chance, so just relax and go for it.
