What to expect from the UVU Physician Assistant Program

  • Applicants will be notified by the program via email when the CASPA application has been verified, the graduate school application is complete, and the fee has been paid. Once, this is confirmed the application is ready to be reviewed. Apply as early as possible to ensure the application is verified by CASPA before the August 15, 2023 deadline. Applications that remain unverified by the deadline will not be reviewed by The UVU PA Program Admissions Committee.
  • Applicants will be notified by the program via email when they have completed the first pass review and are moving forward with the second pass review. Qualified applicants will be given instructions to complete a video essay and questions via Kira Talent. If an applicant does not qualify to move to the second pass review, an email will be sent to inform the applicant that they are denied from the program.
  • Applicants will be notified by the program via email after the completion of the second pass review. Applicants will receive an email either inviting them to an interview in September of 2023 or informing them that they have been denied an interview and the admissions process is complete. Please be aware that this notification will not occur until sometime before the first week of September.
  • Applicants will be notified by the program via email throughout the admissions cycle if additional clarification is needed. Because communication is via the email listed on the CASPA application, it is extremely important that applicants notify the program if there is a change to the email.

Expectations from applicants to the UVU PA Program: As a program, we value professionalism and courtesy. When contacting and communicating with the program, we expect the interactions to demonstrate the applicant’s professional attitude. This means the program expects honesty, professional intonations, and a positive attitude. The Admissions Committee will consider any unprofessional communications when contacting the program. Unprofessional interactions include dishonesty, threatening, argumentative, or offensive language or attitudes.
