Being an aspiring Physician Assistant means taking a keen interest in current events by closely following the challenges the medical industry faces. To consider you for their program, the interviewers at Western University want to see that your interest is deep and that you spend time learning and understanding the challenges you will face in your future career as a PA.

"I feel the most concerning issue in the medical industry is the continual rise of drug prices and other related costs. The best medications should be accessible regardless of financial or social status. There has been a rising concern with big pharma creating drugs and pricing them so high that they are unattainable to most. Having talked with several physicians and APPs in the last year, most are concerned that some people simply won't seek care when they're sick because of this. What do you feel are the most concerning issues facing the medical industry today?"

Tell the interviewer what you feel to be a primary concerning issue, and be sure to ask the interviewers what they see as the most concerning issue in the medical field today. This question is an opportunity to start a very insightful conversation. If you can, relate your answer to something that mid-level providers are currently facing.
