mtorr_ca Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Does anyone know how the applicants are selected for their scheduled interview days? Is it alphabetical? Or all reapplicants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWall Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Two unrelated questions: Does anyone want to share what kind of HCE/PCE they had at the time of application? I'm curious about what the program is looking for in this respect. Also, any insights into whether these are open file or closed file interviews? Thanks all!

LA_RN14 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 from what I've been told based on last years interviews, there's 3 15-minute each interviews. One concerns academic experience, one is on clinical experience, & one is an interview with an alumni. You're also asked to do a group writing exercise.

I have about 1500 hours as a CNA on a med-surg floor, and about 2000 and counting as a medical assistant at a family care/urgent care practice. Interviews last year were what LA_RN said. Campus tour, 3 15 min interviews: 1 personal with an alumni, 1 academic, and 1 clinical. We spent a lot of the waiting time with current students, so we were able to ask a lot of questions.

No problem: PCE - Behavioral Health Counselor for a Chronic Disease Management Service (working with people on their habits that complement or sabotage their medical treatment - nutrition, exercise, stress management - all the non-clinical aspects of health) - Volunteering as an English-Spanish Interpreter and helping with Triage at a free clinic for the uninsured in the rural county where I grew up. HCE - Analyst, Researcher, and Database Manager at said Chronic Disease Management Service - Volunteering as an Administrative Assistant at said free clinic. - Researcher at a Research Group that studies health and wellness in individuals with acute and chronic physical disabilities.

The two interviews with faculty (academic and clinical) are open file but the alumni interview is closed file. Don’t freak out if you haven’t heard anything yet, some people don’t get their invites until much later as people start to decline. There is not really a preference for instate vs out of state. I’m a first year and my class has about 50 in state and 30 out of state. Congratulations to everyone who has received an invite so far and don’t give up hope yet if you haven’t heard anything!!

It means they haven’t seen your app and don’t really know much about you. The alumni interview is mostly just to make sure you have people skills, can hold a conversation, etc. all of the interviews are pretty laid back in general though!

I'm curious about what the program is looking for in this respect. Also, any insights into whether these are open file or closed file interviews? Thanks all! Approx. 12000 hours of HCE/PCE at the time of application submission as a military medic. I actually just came off active duty last week and am now a civilian. Some of that time was spent as a direct care provider (mostly when deployed on a small team with no other medical support) and some of it was spent as a medical planner/analyst and doing medical consulting for my team in an embassy setting.

SanFranciscodeQuito Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Good news for those who still haven't heard back yet: I work at the UAB School of Health Professions (where the PA program is based), and this morning was able to get another report confirming what we already thought - that they aren't finished sending out interview invitations yet. So for those still waiting, stay hopeful (and patient...though it's hard...I'm right there with you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
