During the application cycle, the Screening Committee will conduct ongoing reviews of all completed applications. After this review process, applicants may be invited by MTSA to interview with the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Coordinator will contact potential students regarding the scheduled date and time for a personal interview.
Prior to a determination regarding acceptance, there will be a recorded interview the MTSA Admissions Committee will review. Members of this committee interview on topics related to the academic offering for which the applicant applied. These topics include but are not limited to the following:
DNAP Completion Program: Motivation for pursuing the DNAP degree, current practice setting, and areas of scholarly interest.
Acute Surgical Pain Management Fellowship: Motivation for applying to the Fellowship, current clinical practice, regional anesthesia experience
Nurse Anesthesia Educator Program: Motivation for pursuing a career in education, education experience, areas of interest (e.g., clinical, simulation, classroom, etc.).
Justification for acceptance or rejection of a candidate is not required nor noted in the applicant’s file. Any questions regarding admission decisions should be directed to the Admissions Coordinator (info@mtsa.edu), who may then consult with the Program Administrator.
All applicants should dress in professional attire for the interview. Applicants should be aware that the interviews are recorded so the Admissions Committee members may view it later.
Completing an application does not guarantee an invitation to interview.
