How this program interviews

On-campusIndividual

Interviews are held in October on both the Salt Lake City and St. George campuses, and include a test of basic anatomy, physiology and general medical terminology given during the interview. The program scores academics, the quality and quantity of healthcare experience, and the personal statement, and states that the interview score determines both offers and the alternate ranking. Preference is given for mission fit and experience with underserved populations.
