frenchy Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I am attending an information session in about a week. I want to look intelligent and ask some good questions. What types of things should I ask? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 1. Do they find clinical sites for you? Over what area of the country may you do clinicals? 2. If a student is having problems, how is that addressed? (remediation, pass or die, etc) 3. How big are the classes? 4. Who are the lecturers? All in house or do they use outside assistance? Find some students who go there now and ask two questions: a. What do you like the best about this program? b. What do you like the least about this program?

Koppma Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Is the school attached to a hospital? ( at Drexel we are allowed to go to HUH on certain floors to pick pts to do Histories and Physicals that we start during week 1) When do students begin doing Histories and Physicals? Are their small groups for labs? Can you set up rotations? Does the PA program interact with the other programs at the school like pt, med? i.e.- ground rounds (Drexel we did a ground round cases with the PT students in fall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Davenport Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'll bet every question you can ask is on their website. Do t look like you haven't done your research. Do it. Go to the session to get a better sense (gut feeling) on the program and ask questions sparked by the presentation of none at all. Oh, be sure to say, "hi" and shake their hands. Smile!

PA2016! Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Second That ^^^^^ There is nothing worse than asking a question that is answered on the schools website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I agree with the above posters. I used information sessions to get a feel for the school outside of a website, listen to others questions, or maybe ask questions specific to student life, etc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seegek Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Since the previous replies only listed a few questions, will others please reply with additional questions?for information session and open house? I obviously will not ask questions that are answered on the websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
