Describe a disappointment from your life. When I left to serve a proselyting mission for my church in Chile, it was expected that I serve for 18 months. I deferred from school, and said goodbye to friends/family. When I got sick, and was told that I needed to go home and recover, I was extremely disappointed that I wasn't able to finish. Even though my mission didn't go as planned, it fundamentally altered what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I was blessed to be treated by such great health care workers, which eventually led me to the physician assistant career. I found that if I had never gotten sick on my mission, I might not have found what I wanted to do so I'm grateful for that disappointment. I believe that this disappointment, will also make me a great PA. I understand what it is like to not be in good health, and to have doctors who understand and treat you with respect. I want to recripcate that with my future patients. Describe one time when your boss had to confront you about an issue with your work. I currently work as a physical therapy technician. About a month into the job while I was working my boss told me that I was doing ultrasounds wrong, and was moving the probe too fast. Though I felt a little embarrassed, I asked if I could watch him do it the next time a patient came in so I could see the correct way to do it. He agreed, and I was able to do it correctly from then on out. He explained why the probe needed to move slower, and I was able to learn from it. Describe a past situation in which your ethics were challenged. A few years ago I was taking a test at our testing center at BYU. I noticed that a guy next to me had notes (which he was pretending was scratch paper). I was nervous to say something in case I was wrong...maybe it was just scratch paper. I felt that it was my responsibility to say something to someone so I told the supervisor at the testing center. Though I don't know what happened, I felt good knowing that I did what I believed was right, even though it was difficult. Describe a time when you used teamwork to solve a problem. In my advanced anatomy class, we did medical case studies every few weeks. We were divided into groups, and given background information and medical history. As a group we had to figure out the diagnosis of the patient. At first, we really struggled with this, always running out of time before we could figure out what was wrong. However, as we learned to work as a team we got significantly better. We would create a google doc, divide out what each person was going to research, take turns discussing what we found out, and would go from there. Each person had a job, and we were all contributing, and we were able to figure out the diagnosis so much faster.
