What do you feel is the single most important quality a PA should possess?

"I believe that the most important quality for a physician assistant to possess is integrity. A physician assistant with integrity will always put their patients first, no matter the situation. They will treat all attending staff respectfully and dedicate themselves to improving their work. Integrity is essential, and I would incorporate it into my work here at Western University of Health Sciences."

This question is an opportunity to give a unique answer, so try to dig deeper than 'good bedside manner' or 'strong attention to detail.' Physicians Assistants are known for their unrelenting drive, desire for improvement, patience and fortitude, approach to integrity in their work, and self-confidence. There is no right or wrong answer to this question, so speak confidently as you sell yourself on this ability to bring the same quality to the Western University of Health Sciences Physician Assistant program.
