Be a Mock Interviewer

Help prepare EVMS PA students for residency placement interviews by volunteering to be a Mock Interviewer. This opportunity for students to take part in virtual mock interviews with alumni from their desired specialty is a great way to meet and support future doctors as they prepare to embark upon their careers.

Each student will be paired with a alumnus in their specialty area for a 30-minute interview via Zoom. Your feedback and guidance will be invaluable to these soon-to-be alum.

Interviews will take place January 16 - 25, 2024.

Alum pens book to inspire daughter

Dr. McGann was in his fourth year of medical school at EVMS when his wife gave birth to Charlie. All of the appointments leading up to that day had gone as expected and without complications, so the family was shocked when she was born with a rare birth defect that left her with only one hand.
