★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair
The program emphasized its position within a teaching hospital, giving students day-to-day access to facilities, faculty and practicing clinicians as part of the learning environment. Admissions staff highlighted a strong institutional focus on equity and inclusion, including first-generation students and applicants from diverse backgrounds. On student support, the program described a structured approach to remediation in which a designated faculty member works directly with and coaches students who need it, rather than leaving them to recover on their own.

Where: Virtual or on campus
One of the most fully published interview days in the directory, and it has three parts: a multiple mini interview of 10-minute stations (2 minutes to read the scenario, 8 to respond), a 15-minute one-on-one with faculty or leadership, and a 25-minute group activity with five candidates. It is offered both virtually and on campus. The program names what it evaluates: communication, empathy, teamwork, ethical responsibility, cultural awareness, resilience and professional preparation. Your schedule arrives about a week before your interview date.
