The PA School Interview Course is Here!

It’s interview season for PA school! Last year, the Physician Assistant Interview Guide was published, and all of my interview tips were put into book form. But I still felt like there was more to share, so that’s where the PA School Interview Course comes in as a companion to the book. With 8 modules from Before the Interview to After the Interview, we break down every interview style and type to help you prepare with over 4 hours of video, mock interview examples, mock interview guide, and a Master List of Interview formats from every single program.

PA School Mock Interview Sneak Peek

It’s interview season ya’ll! There’s no doubt about it, and even though it’s still early, I’m hearing about interview invites going out every single day. A question I’m frequently asked is when should you start preparing for your PA school interview? And my answer is as soon as you submit your application. You never know when the invite will come. I’ve heard of people being called 24 hours before (if they were local) or having up to 6 months to prepare. This is not a situation you want to be caught unprepared in though. In today’s podcast episode, I’m showing you just a small portion of a mock interview I did with Sam from @my.path.to.pa and she graciously let me share her answers from our session. Hopefully, this gives you a little bit of an idea of what happens during a mock interview, and helps you feel like it might not be as weird as you’re expecting.

When You Start To Question Whether You Should Keep Going

Every part of becoming a physician assistant is stressful, and comes with a decent amount of overwhelm and doubt. While it’s completely normal to feel that way along your journey, don’t lose sight of who you are, why you’re doing this, and avoid finding your identity in your profession. That’s what we’re talking about today.

It happens. Even after working for 5 years as a physician assistant, I’ll have the occasional patient who is less than thrilled about seeing a PA.
