How to Ace the Physician Assistant School Interview, 2nd Edition

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Benjamin Franklin

Congratulations! You’ve been invited for a physician assistant school interview. You’ve likely spent the past several years taking classes, volunteering, obtaining medical experience, shadowing, accomplishing your CASPA application, and writing a killer essay to get here.

However, your work is not over; in fact, it is just beginning. The weaker applicants have been ruled out, and now you will be going up against the best of the best! You have two choices at this point: you can try to wing it and be another faceless drone at your interview, or you can prepare and become the Perfect Applicant.

Also included in this book are over seventy of the toughest interview questions and answers most commonly asked by the admissions committee: Traditional Questions, Behavioral Questions, Situational Questions, Ethical Questions, Hypothetical Questions, and Illegal Questions. All of the answers demonstrate the Perfect Applicant formula.

There is also entire chapter dedicated to the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). The MMI is becoming more common and requires a lot of preparation and practice to master. The purpose of the MMI is to evaluate interpersonal skills, soft skills, professionalism and ethical/moral judgment.
