sdave6 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Is anyone interviewing for Heritage University's PA program in February? I don't see any other posts for this school or program so hopefully all of us can touch base here. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpaim Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hello, it would be a good idea to meet up before the interview. I know one other applicant. How's Wed, Thurs, or Fri. in Yakima? Please list a few available times, let's say at at McDonalds on 16/W. Lincoln or Starbucks at 56/ Summitview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdave6 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi! Sorry for the late response, I lost hope after a couple of days of not seeing any responses so I stopped checking! So glad to see someone who is attending! Friday would work well for me. I am not from the area though, so all I really know is that I am staying off of I-82 on Valley Mall Blvd. On a map, The road you said Starbucks is on seems nearby. I should be in town by 4 PM or so. Would sometime after that work for the both of you? I assume you both are from the area? Any insight as to what the day will be like? I am wondering what that "team activity" will be!

sdave6 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 The McDonalds sounds good. What kind of background do you guys come from (undergrad school/work experience/etc.)? Have you guys visited the school/met with the PA faculty at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 14, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2014 I just learned about this program. I know the academic coordinator. Nice guy. pretty strong EM PA. we worked together at another pa program about 15 years ago. good luck to everyone applying . the rural focus on rotations at critical access hospitals sounds excellent.

fakingpatience Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 How did everyone complete the recommendations? Theirs are different then most other schools, so I'm not sure what to submit via CASPA; either way I'll be leaving a school without the required recommendation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av345 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Wondering if anyone has any information/tips about this program in terms of applicants they are interested in and general interview information... My husband and I will likely be relocating to the Yakima area from Bellingham WA and after being denied by MEDEX for the past 2 cycles I am SO EXCITED there is another option in Washington state, not to mention the focus on working in rural area! very cool. I plan on attending an info session asap but won't be able to for quite a while and am curious regarding their last few classes, what other applicants experiences have been, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Davenport Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Heritage has a great program plan and I love it's forward (or backward, depending on your perspective) approach to its preceptor/clerkship training.

smccccc Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi I'm thinking of applying here! What do you mean the LOR are different than most school all I see is that they want three from a PA, md, or supervisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakingpatience Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Some of my schools wanted a letter from a professor, and said PA or MD, not both. Needing a PA, MD, supervisor, AND professor added up to 4 LORs, so I had to submit the one from an MD directly to Heritage since I already had 3 others in CASPA. It wouldn't be a problem if you have an MD or PA as a supervisor and can count that for both requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks23 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm glad I finally discovered the thread for Heritage University! I applied a couple months ago, and am looking forward to hearing back. I'm applying from out of state, and would love to hear more about the area if anyone knows anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkasprzy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Has anyone finished their supplemental for Heritage? I am having difficulty getting past the pre-req section because it requires me to put something into the statistics/algebra category but it has 2 spots.... but we only need one... But then I can't continue forward without entering 2! Frustrated. Anyone have guidance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
