Eboudreau Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Greetings future PAs, My name is Elizabeth and this is my second year applying to MEDEX with my first interview. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. I'm unsure on how the Zoom interview will go and I want to reach out to anyone else that feels the same way. Id love to get to know a few of you prior to the Zoom interview to feel a bit more comfortable. I look forward to meeting you all on 11/14, and hopefully one day in the classroom. Sincerely, Elizabeth Boudreau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Judy Hello Judy, Thanks for reaching out, so far I think there are three of us for the 11/14/20 Tacoma interview. Id love to meet with everyone prior to the interview. I am in the Portland, OR area. I've been a certified tele-pharmacy technician, infusion technician, phlebotomist and a direct caregiver. How about next week some time to meet for a zoom interview, this way we can give more people time to find our group? Do you know how many people interviewed during the last interviews?

Skusekd Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hello All, My name is Deionne and I am a first year applicant with an interview on the 14th! I spent some time as an EMT for a private ambulance company and am now working at Allenmore Hospital in the emergency department as a emergency services technician. I was told by someone on the student panel that there should be something posted on the forum regarding some interview prep, so keep an eye out If interested we should do something over zoom beforehand as well in order to prepare!

Eboudreau Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 It seems as if everyone prefers afternoons; I created a Zoom meeting for Tuesday, Nov 3, 2020, 05:30 PM Pacific Time. I will privately message each of you the link. If anyone has an issue with this time, please let me know, and I will change it. I just picked a random day in the afternoon. Do you think there will be more than five of us interviewing that day? -Elizabeth Boudreau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujuB Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hello Shaun, Liora, Stephanie I wanted everyone to email Elizabeth your emails so we can start either a thread or a good chat or something along those lines to keep in contact, to give feedback, ask questions or simply give positive vibes to one another. Lets stay positive, stay calm and get accepted Best Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujuB Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hi I just found this in one of the threads, hopefully its helpful We had 3 interviews total. Each time with 2 other interviewees and 2 interviewers from faculty/staff. We also had a student panel and a group activity. Overall I sensed that the school genuinely wants to get to know you as a person. I would say be yourself, the best and authentic version of you! I think that a current student posted the format on the main thread for this year if you want to check out their advice/take on it as well!

Eboudreau Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 It was great to meet you all last night, thank you to everyone that attended. Maybe we can all meet up once more before the 14th? Lets see if we can reach out to some current class members possibly? Don't forget to send me all your emails! Cheers, Elizabeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
