akfiddlegirl Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I looked at my list from my previous interview and there were about 60 of us if I remember. About 10 of us had openly chatted on here and arranged to get together then at cattle Co we ended up a party of about 20... :) Maybe we have some stalkers... Even the quiet ones are welcome to join us! It really will help- to see a friendly face Saturday! I am getting excited and nervous as well.... mostly worried the weather will not cooperate..... I am flying in Thursday and that only gives me 1 extra weather day in case.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akapp Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I just found out about a scheduling conflict with some family stuff so I will not be able to attend this gathering but I wish everyone the best and am looking forward to meeting you this Saturday. Sorry we won't be seeing you Scoped. Will look for you on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAT64 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I am new to this forum. I applied for the first time to the Alaska site. I received an email in October that said my application was going to the faculty for review, but I have not heard anything yet. Does anyone know how many interviews they have for the Alaska site? akfiddlegirl- Were there 60 people at the one interview you attended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbks pre pa Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 I am still good for the dinner, minus two kids due to flying down rather than drive with the nasty roads up here. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat, I know when my husband called asking for planning purposes about the interview, he was told that they only have so many seats for Anchorage interviews and that Alaskans get invites to the final interview in Seattle. I think those go out around the middle to end of December, must before Christmas if he remembers right. Don't count yourself out until you get the denial letter, that is what he was told.

akfiddlegirl Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Kat- Mykaela is right- don't give up! There are still seats to fill and interviews happening.... Until you get the final letter of denial you still have a chance! There were about 60 at my interview here in ANC 2 years ago. Looking forward to Friday evening. Probably a safe choice flying Mykaela! Can't blame you there! I am staying at microtel. Where are you staying? I am supposed to have a rental car since I have a ton of shopping to do Friday. I have to shop for the village Santa for our 15 school kids. OH fun! Should be distracting though before the big day. :) See you all Friday!

KAT64 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 So Alaska has only one interview? I only applied to the Alaska site, because I live in Anchorage and it would be difficult for me to move down to Washington at this point. I have a step son that will be a senior next year and a daughter in college at UAA that lives at home. I have been told that they tend to interview you with people having similar back grounds. ?? I have my Bachelor's degree, have been working in public health for many years (40K hours in direct patient care), and teach Anatomy and Physiology labs at the University. I am on the older end of the age spectrum for those that are applying, but figure I have another 20 years before I am ready to retire. I hope to hear something soon....Good luck to you all!!

Alaska only has one interview in Alaska. It's my understanding that Alaskan's can get invited to Seattle for the final interview for a slot in Anchorage. I didn't hear anything about similar backgrounds mentioned in the MEDEX orientation I attended earlier this year. I know they look for family practice type vs specialty HCE, but specialty won't count anyone out is my understanding. Just keep applying, and the nice thing with MEDEX is they will tell you want they recommend for next year's application. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akfiddlegirl Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I was just watching this video again. It was shared on another page and it is very powerful. I encourage everyone interviewing to take the time to check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks-_Mh1QhMc#t=14 Now I am trying to remember to take deep breaths, relax and get everything done before my plane leaves in 2 hours!

Scoped Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I thought the interview process today was great and honesty had an enjoyable time meeting all the wonderful applicants. I did not find the interview process stressful because it's clear they're just trying to put the best group together and there was no difficult questions. Good luck everyone.

JSadley Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hopefully we can all share some great news next week????. Otherwise, I'll be taking microbiology and trying again. I feel like I did well, but there was a lot of great people and they're going to have a tuff time making selections. Good luck! I've got my fingers crossed for myself and everyone else. ✔️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska_PA Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just a quick THANK YOU to everyone for making the selection interviews fun. The could have been really stressful, but the friendship and smiles really counters the stress that could have happened. Remember that PA Quigley said that they would be having a teleconference between UAA and UW on Monday, soooooooo if no phone calls come on Monday, DON'T stress it. Phone calls might not start until Tuesday. Good Luck to everyone!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akfiddlegirl Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 This interview conference was fun! I had a great time meeting everyone. What a great bunch of talented people! Everyone I interviewed with did a fantastic job! I am looking forward to getting to know many of you better. Thank heaven for finals week to give some of us stuff to focus on besides this forum and our phones! I better go write my final psych paper.... Good Luck everyone! Try not to stress too much! Take a deep breath, enjoy your family, get ready for the holiday and enjoy each moment for we never know what will happen tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
