Please plan to spend three hours at the UVU PA Program. Candidates will participate in one-on-one interviews with members of the UVU PA Program faculty, UVU faculty and staff, and community stakeholders. Following the interviews, there will be Q&A sessions with currently enrolled students and the UVU PA Program faculty. Candidates will have an opportunity to see the facilities and meet the principle faculty and staff and current students during their assigned interview block. 

There will be a medical terminology exam that will be given to the admitted candidates, If a student scores below 80%, they will be required to review a medical terminology module and then complete a comprehensive medical terminology test and receive at least 80% prior to the first day of school. If a score of 80% or higher is not completed by the first day of school, the student will work with their faculty advisor to meet the requirement.
