When did you have to fly to Seattle, to do the part of the program that is required to be there? Not Kylie, but my wife is Class 8. You will go down in the Summer around June/July. IN 2016 my wife went down end of June for a class start date of July 5th. For Class 9 It was end of June. You do have to pay for lodging as it's not included as part of the tuition and it's $33 or so a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a total of 6 weeks! It was a blast! It's like adult summer camp with "some " studying haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it! It's been a bit of a transition but I am enjoying it. Mykaela sounds familiar!! Are you guys from Healy ? I'm happy to hear she loves clinicals! There is light on the end of the tunnel.

Good luck applying in a few years, you will be well prepared with your wife have gone through it :) It can be a transition but if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me and I can pass on into to Mykaela, she jumps on here from time to time but spends a lot of her time studying, prepping for the PANCE and doing her rotations. She will even call/text etc if you want to. We live in Fairbanks, she was down for the interview session you went thru and was in the room talking with the interviewees. There is light at the tunnel, as I told her (many times) it is worth it. Winter will be a lot harder because of the classes but time management it important, and get out from time to time. That is one of the biggest things with Mykaela is she would spend almost all her time studying so I had to ask her to go out with her classmates every so often so she didn't hit burnout. I'm excited and a bit nervous since it's a major career change from my current degree but I plan on working as an EMT part time for the next few years, volunteering, shadowing a lot and hoping I can make it Tuesday and not pass out shadowing my first surgery.

Sheabird Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hi everyone my name is Shea! I will be attending the interview on November 18th, I live in Anchorage and would love to meet up with anyone who wants to do a few mock interviews prior to the interview date. I'm so excited to meet everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHarp Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 For all of you who are wanting to meet up the night prior- anyone have a suggestion on place and time? Do we want to meet at a restaurant? or a Kaladis? Im trying to think of somewhere we might actually get to chat and hear one another speak :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccercr Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Kaladi's might be a good option. The one on Brayton has the community room that we could see if we could use. I believe the Starbucks on Dimond also has a separate room that we could meet in to lessen the noise. Depending on how many want to come we could also reserve a room at the UAA library but the largest room holds up to 10 people. I am down for where ever if others have suggestions. I am available anytime after 4PM that Friday prior to the interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went with my wife both times, her first time they met up at Texas Roadhouse and it was ok, they were in the corner about 12 of them and me the third wheel. The second time one of the students held a dinner/potluck at his home. That worked out great and in fact majority of those students are Anchorage class 8 now so that may be a good option as well. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitarytoPA Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 If anyone is in Fairbanks/North Pole/Interior, please send me a private message and I will pass your info onto my wife Mykaela. She is Anchorage Class 8 and has no problem meeting up for coffee etc in the evening after her rotations and loves answering more of the complex questions that I can't answer.

yanetyjo Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 UAA is easier or Starbucks on Dimond sound a good option too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joito911 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Friday night works for me too. I am able to meet around 5 to 6pm as well. The UAA idea is good for space and being able to talk and hear each other but we might have to pay for parking. The Starbucks on Dimond could be difficult to accommodate 10 to 12 vehicles in their parking lot, depending on who is driving. I've never been to the Kaladi's on Brayton but it looks like they could accommodate plenty for parking, on google maps and the community room sounds like a great idea. Food on a Friday night might be a little loud anywhere in town but if we could get a separate room/section it might help dial down the common area volume. Honestly, I'd like to get a bite around that time if we could. Does anyone have any allergy or food preferences/lifestyles we would meed to accommodate for?

JHarp Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Looks like 10 or 12 of us want to meet. How about Gallos at Arctic/Diamond (they have an upper balcony area and we could make a reservation) or Olive Garden at Diamond mall? Let me know if either of those sound good. I would love to call and make a reservation someplace tomorrow! I was thinking 630pm? Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be my third time interviewing and it's the 4th time I've applied. So for the folks who didn't get invited, or are thinking of giving up, please don't- there's always hope ?Please count me in for the Friday evening meet. We did this the first time I interviewed and seeing familiar faces helped ease some of the tension for sure. I couldn't make it to the meet before my last interview and I wished I had been able to. Anyways, please count me in when making the reservation. I look forward to meeting everyone. Best of luck to all of you!

melaniet Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 To those of us still waiting for interviews, I emailed MEDEX and they said they are currently expecting to hold additional interviews for Anchorage candidates. That we should be notified by the year's end either of interview invitation or non-acceptance. Until receiving one of these notifications that we are still under consideration for a seat in one of the interviews. I am not sure if this means they will do an additional Anchorage interview or if that means as in the past there will be seats in a Seattle interview for Anchorage applicants. But regardless hang on until you get that non-acceptance letter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to start EMT in January and A&P. I have started shadowing so I can be a strong applicant in 2022, so I've done a few Orto Surgery Observations and they were awesome! I've seen a complete shoulder replacement, a right wrist fracture repair (plate and screws) and 1st dorsal compartment release. She loves them. She is getting ready to reply and feel free to ask any questions about the interview or anything in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
