I'll be doing a derm rotation in a few months and the office has never had a PA. There are 2 physicians at the office- one of them I used to work for as a medical assistant at another derm office prior to PA school, and is the reason I landed this rotation. He doesn't make any decisions though as he isn't the owner, so I'm wondering how to approach this rotation in terms of trying to land a job offer. Does anyone have any advice or have been in a similar situation? If they don't offer me a job at some point during or at the end of the rotation, should I ask for one myself at the end of th

Hello all, I'm looking for any preceptors in core specialties, in Boston and the surrounding areas that would be willing to host me for a 4-week rotation. Please let me know if anyone on here is interested, or knows someone who takes students. Thanks so much!!

Try to remember that the people interviewing you want to get to know you more than you want to interview. They want to fill their class with not the best interviewers, but the best candidates. I interviewed with the program director and during my interview, I dropped a piece of paper, picked it up (actually bent down out of my seat to get it), lost my train of thought and was humiliated. Safe to say after that the conversation went way more smoothly after my guard was let down accidentally lol. I got accepted 2 days later. It truly has nothing to do with how you interview but more about if you

How many exams do you usually have per week? we have 1 exam day about every 2 months. exams are PANCE styled, 300 questions total, spread throughout 4 hrs. Does your class schedule stay the same or change week to week (sometimes changing last minute)? some days have more lectures scheduled than others. sometimes we have off days (rare). just depends on the organ system we are learning but nothing changes last minute Do you ever feel that professors are presenting info one way and testing you in a completely different way? Do you ever feel that tests aren't "fair" and, if so, do you

my stats, my chances, any suggestions for improvement?
harden4mvp replied to chhlsys's topic in Pre-PA General Discussion

harden4mvp replied to chhlsys's topic in Pre-PA General Discussion
To give you some hope, I had similar stats as you and got 6 interviews and 3 acceptances. I took 2 years off after graduating and worked as a MA all while taking classes post-bacc to boost my GPA. I took nutrition, sociology, Spanish 1 and 2, pharmacology, pathophysiology, genetics, anatomy 1 & 2 (i took these in college but didn't take the lab, so i had to redo both courses). My GRE score was >50% percentile in all 3 sections, and I spent a great deal of time working to make sure my PS was perfect. Like the previous poster said, apply smart (programs who accept students with similar st -

I just got pulled from the waitlist today, for anyone still waiting to hear back! -
Your PhD seems to be very similar to this program. It's hard and lots of material. I have friends who say they could never study at home, they'd be tempted to sleep or do other things so you're right that it's tailored to the very disciplined, dedicated and motivated. I prefer learning this way because I can pause lectures if I miss something, don't have to frantically race with the professor to take notes, can pause to go to the bathroom, get a snack, etc, can watch from my couch or a coffee shop... you get the point! Plus I save a ton of time by not having to get dressed every morning, gathe

Kevin Bolton in admissions is really helpful and answers most questions/gives advice. He helped me a lot during the application cycle - I emailed him almost everyday and he is happy to answer questions!! Plus it gives him a chance to get to know you/remember you. (my GRE scores were all above the 50th percentile)

Inaugural PA Online Class - YALE
harden4mvp replied to EMNP's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
You could, but by looking off the screen to another tablet you'd get flagged for cheating and you'd fail the exam and probably kicked out of the program. -
Inaugural PA Online Class - YALE
harden4mvp replied to EMNP's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
So there isn't an actual lock-down browser, but with your screen being recorded, faculty will be able to clearly see if you open up another browser while taking the exam and you get flagged for cheating. Taping stuff causes you to look off to the screen (even if it's just a little bit) and that's a cause for a flag as well. I think we're all too scared to try anything, risk cheating and jeopardize our future careers. We spend 4 hours a week (I personally do 6 and requested this from my adviser independently) in clinical sites during didactic year, totaling 160 hours. We spent 30 hours do -
Inaugural PA Online Class - YALE
harden4mvp replied to EMNP's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
This is all so sad and presumptuous. We have proctored exams. We are recorded by a system called ProctorTrack and any time our eyes go off the screen we get flagged. Anytime we look down we are flagged. Opening a web browser flags you for cheating. So no, the PANCE IS NOT OPEN BOOK and our exams ARE proctored and there is no cheating. Hope this answers your question! Next?
