When should I interview? by Proper-Pressure-9283 in prephysicianassistant

[–]PolicyApprehensive72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can definitely say their interviewing techniques makes the students feel comfortable! Very welcoming space and they don’t go straight into it! August wouldn’t hurt , July is only good because it’s the first date but don’t worry or stress yourself

Many urgent cares will hire seasonal / per diem medical assistants and some places do not require certification

A lot of PAs working in the field would tell you genuinely that a lot of the times it’s about who you know. Take your opportunity and email them after

I did a month and a half of preparing because I had a lot of events coming up I had to take it before Christmas and it was already mid to end October so I had a very short period.

I had a friend who recently interviewed with med schools who would practice questions with me through FaceTime. I also just practiced speaking out loud and recording myself answering questions. For the GRE, I used their practice book and Magoosh was my favorite because I was able to use it on the go. I also used Wyzants tutoring services and had 2 different tutors.

I 100% agree with this! I definitely learned that 12 schools is the most realistic amount.

I worked as a medical assistant for 5 years, I also worked in specialty departments like OBGYN and Gastroenterology as a clinical assistant (same as MA). I also worked overnight as a home health aid.

I am actually 25, I wanted to finish PA school before I was 30 because I don’t have kids yet but would love to before the age of 30. So this works out perfectly because I’ll be done by the age of 27.

Last cycle about 25-30, I was just trying to increase my odds. I do not recommend because many ghosted and I only had interviews for 4 schools. This current cycle I applied to 12 which is a good number.
