What is this PA interview tips video about?
I was asked by Adanna, a PA student who's doing a great job with her YouTube videos, to contribute some interview tips for her channel. So I pulled five of the most important ones from the Physician Assistant School Interview Guide and shared them in a video for her audience.
The goal was to give pre-PA applicants a quick, practical set of tips they can actually use heading into interview season. If you're prepping for an upcoming interview, it's a short watch that hits the points that matter most. You can find the full video linked in this post.
Where can you watch the 5 crucial interview tips?
The complete set of five tips is in the YouTube video on Adanna's channel, so head there to watch the whole thing. Because this was a collaboration, the tips themselves are delivered on video rather than written out here.
If you like that format, it's worth following both channels for more pre-PA content. And if you want the deeper, written version of my interview advice, that's what the Physician Assistant School Interview Guide is for. Between the video and the guide, you'll have a solid foundation for walking into your interview prepared and calm.
In our experience, the applicants who interview well are the ones who practice out loud before the big day, not just in their head. A quick video like this is a great primer, but pairing it with mock practice is what really builds confidence.
