How selection works

UNC COM describes a mission-merit process centered on patient care, community service, health equity, communication, empathy, collaboration, and self-awareness. Applicants who can connect their experiences to those themes may find the process relevant; these are preparation cues, not an admission prediction (UNC COM admissions requirements).

Interview details

Not published

The current public pages do not publish the standard interview modality, invitation calendar, station count, duration, scoring rubric, or question list.

Who this program may suit

UNC COM may suit applicants interested in serving Colorado, the High Plains, or the Intermountain region and who can show academic preparation, service, health-equity interest, communication, empathy, collaboration, and self-awareness. The official pages describe these as mission themes, not guaranteed outcomes (UNC COM FAQ).

Practice and next step

First practice: Use the linked general ethics prompt to rehearse a Casper-adjacent answer on communication and fairness. Record a timed response, review one weakness in empathy or self-awareness, adjust one concrete response choice, record it again, and compare the two attempts before choosing the next practice target.
