How to Ace Your Job Interview Through the Eyes of a Clinician and Faculty

Monday, May 19, 2025
8:00 AM – 8:50 AM  
Location: Colorado Convention Center, Street Level, Room 106

You have now passed all of your end or rotation and program exams. You have excelled on your PANCE, but now one of their most significant feats is acing your job interview.

The job interview process for newly graduated PA students can be a tremendous source of anxiety, leading to feelings of unpreparedness. Throughout our education, we are all well suited with the tools in our toolbox to appropriately evaluate, diagnose, and treat medical conditions but have you been given the tools to excel in your job interview successfully?

In this small interactive session, we will cover general tips for success when applying and interviewing for positions as a PA as well as how to attack commonly asked interview questions. We will also have interactive mock interview sessions with the participants, providing students with a safe environment to practice their interviewing skills, which is also a learning environment.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Identify commonly asked interview questions for PAs, as well as your individualized answers to these questions.
  • Employ interviewing skills in a mock interview setting with the lecture faculty.
  • Constructively self-critique responses from mock interview session to develop success for future interviews.
