Talk to us about your experience with and thoughts on handling blood and other bodily fluids. You will be subject to difficult scenarios in your role as a PA. How do you feel about this?

"I have never been a queasy individual, and I fully understand the cases I will see in my career as a PA. During high school, I worked at a local veterinarian's office and regularly assisted with minor procedures and surgeries on dogs, cats, and other pets. I successfully managed even the most hands-on cases, and this experience drove me to a career in medicine."

You can keep your answer simple by discussing your ability to handle events involving blood, saliva, urine, and other bodily fluids. If you have hands-on work experience before attending PA school, that is great! Now is the time to mention your ability to handle this work. If you haven't had direct experience with this yet, explain to the interviewing team that you have put thought into this and would come to their program with the ability to manage this hands-on work.
