How would you react if you discovered a classmate cheating during PA school?
Western University School of Health Sciences takes academic honesty very seriously in their Physician Assistant program. This honesty-based question tests your character and ability to deal with awkward or uncomfortable situations maturely.
"An honorable person will do what is right, even when nobody is looking. The medical industry deserves only honorable graduates. I would first confront the individual and urge them to admit their mistake to our professor. If they were hesitant, I would speak with our professor directly."
If you found yourself in a situation like this in the past, you can draw on that situation for your reply. Be careful not to name any names or throw anyone under the bus, as you can rarely recover from unsavory behavior like that in an interview with a reputable PA program.
