Rolling Admissions
Admission to the Emory PA Program is highly competitive. Our final submission deadline is September 1. We strongly encourage early application as interview days are filled as applications are reviewed.
Interview
The purpose of the interview day at the Emory PA program is to assure a good match between the program and the applicant while allowing applicants an opportunity to learn more about the program. The most qualified applicants will be invited for a full day, on-site interview on a rolling basis. Apply early, but not before the minimum required clinical hours are obtained.
The Emory PA interview day includes interaction with didactic and clinical year students, a tour of Emory, and interaction with faculty. The Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) format is used to assess: communication skills, understanding of medical ethical issues or health policy, problem-solving, maturity and interpersonal skills. The MMIs are not used to assess an applicant’s medical knowledge.
