My name is Austin and I am an executive recruiter at gpac specializing in the healthcare industry. Recently, my team and I connected with a great organization near Alexandria, MN who partnered with us to find qualified candidates for their open Physician Assistant roles within their growing organization.  

This Physician Assistant role is a full-time, on-site position. It also comes with a highly industry competitive starting compensation ($130,000 - $175,000 annual starting out) and full-benefits package options. This is a Monday through Friday position with no evenings, weekends, or holidays. 401(k) retirement with company match; generous PTO, paid holidays. A relocation package may also be available for the right candidate! 

I’d be really interested in speaking with you further to see what you’re possibly looking for in your next opportunity. Please feel free to reach out and I can send you a more detailed description of the position.  

If this position is not exactly what you are looking for, I have several other client companies I am working with that would be interested in your background if you would like to speak about those other opportunities as well. All communications with myself and my organization are highly confidential and I will never share your information.   

I hope to hear from you soon! Feel free to reach out austin.kiler@gogpac.com | (605) 501-4713 | https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-kiler/

Best,

Austin

Has anyone heard news regarding the possibility of a thrid round of interviews?

CASPA verified along with Supplemental app on 5/31/2017.

Hi all! 

First off, congratulations to everyone who has been accepted this application cycle for the class of 2020! We all know we have all worked so incredibly hard to get to this point and, as a current PA student recently told me, "the hardest part of PA school is over--you're in!" Not going to lie, I shed a few (several) happy tears last night after receiving the phone call from Augsburg. 

Secondly, I wanted to extend greetings to you all as we will classmates much sooner than we know it come late Spring/early Summer. I interviewed on 9/29 in the morning session and cannot quite tell from the forum posts if some of you are from that interview day or not. But seeing as we will all be in the same class, I thought it wouldn't hurt to get an idea of who we all are.

Finally, and slightly off topic, what have you all decided to do regarding housing? The current PA students at Augsburg mentioned nearby apartments surrounding the campus. 

I am so excited and genuinely proud of all of us for getting to this point in our lives! Whether we come from traditional or non-traditional academic backgrounds and diverse life experiences, we are all pursuing a shared passion. 

Cheers!

Anna 

I was recently invited to interview at Augsburg for the end of September, and with this being my first-ever interview, I am feeling an explosion of emotions--from disbelief and excitement to downright nervousness. I realize programs will sometimes vary in their questions, so I am wondering if any current PA-S or alumni of Augsburg's PA Program would be willing to share advice and what to think about in preparation for the interview? Were there any unexpected questions? How much interaction did you have on interview day with faculty/staff and current students? 

Thanks so much in advance, and good luck to everyone applying this cycle!

Anyone fall into that category? I otherwise am also hoping the rest of my application is worthy of consideration--50+ hrs of shadowing multiple PAs in multiple clinical and hospital settings, anticipated 1300 hrs of direct patient care working at Regions Hospital as a PCA, 300+ hrs of "community service" as the VP of a large Asian-American student organization during undergrad, 200+ hrs of volunteer tutoring International students in English outside the classroom, and 400 hrs of ED scribing. While I'm not expecting to be accepted this first time around, I am still curious as to who got accepted or, if you didn't, did Augsburg provide detailed feedback such that an applicant has something to work with during the year before the next app cycle? 

Thanks!

I am currently looking into PA programs that are around my area, or have a distance education program so I do not need to relocate. I am most looking at either Augsburg College or the UW-Madison Distance Education program. I would really appreciate it if anyone could offer some information about why you chose Augsburg over other colleges, what you like/dislike about the program, difficulty, etc. Or, if you know any information about the UW-Madison program, I would love to hear that as well! I am also open to suggestions about other programs. Thanks!

Congrats to all those who have been accepted for Class of 2014 and those who are currently working on completing the program. I have been searching throughout this site and every time I run across a stat posting of someone who was accepted but had a low GPA my hope goes up :=D:. However, the more I search the more I find those who are accepted with high GPA's and my hope goes down :sweat:. I am beginning to lose hope and worry, but everyone who has posted says to not lose hope and persevere. That's exactly what I am doing and will not stop until I get into PA School. For those who have already been accepted to Augsburg College for class of 2014 and those accepted earlier, could you please put up your stats so the rest of us can get an idea of what we need to work on? It would be greatly appreciated!!!
