Peachtree Immediate Care Interview Questions
& Process

I'm so glad I got an in-person interview because I could really pick up on people's body language and how they carried themselves. After getting through an initial screening call, which is basically to see if you're even a good fit for an interview, I was set up for an on-site interview. I was asked to talk about my background, which I did in detail and with a smile, but the interviewer just stared at me like I was a bug, never smiling back or showing any positive vibes. The interviewer then laid out the job duties, basically telling me I'd be working with a super small team (just one doctor, one MA, and one receptionist) and that I'd need to learn absolutely everything, especially X-rays. I was cool with that and actually excited, since the only thing I wasn't super experienced in was X-rays. But then the interviewer started going on about how I lacked experience and would need certifications for things like drug screens and DOT physicals. It's wild because I have 3 years of experience in those exact areas and have done them before. The only question they asked me was about my pay rate, which I found weird because pay is usually discussed when a job offer is on the table, not during the interview. I told them my rate, and they immediately shot it down, then kept repeating how I wasn't qualified and would need training for tons of stuff. The interviewer went through this same speech about four times, pausing each time to see what I'd say. I could tell they were trying to intimidate me and were being intentionally condescending to try and get me to accept a lower salary. They even mentioned how many medical assistants are desperate for this job. Honestly, if the interviewer had shown even a little respect and politeness, I might have been willing to negotiate my already reasonable rate, but after witnessing that level of unprofessionalism, I just wanted to leave.

It was a straightforward interview. First, I had to take a quick clinical assessment with some direct questions and some subjective ones. After that, I shadowed a provider and then saw patients while someone observed me. It was pretty relaxed overall.

First, a recruiter called me to go over my resume. They wanted to talk about my work history and noted I was a new grad. They asked me to rate my confidence on a scale of 1-5 for things like suturing, reading x-rays and ECGs, and treating kids. I was honest about what I didn't know well. They decided to move me to the next step, which was an in-person interview. Second, the in-person interview was with someone nice who gave me the real deal about the company, how hard the job is, and that the pay isn't great for new grads. I got hit with a bunch of live, board-style questions asking about scenarios. They expected me to know everything, even though I just passed my boards. I didn't get all the answers right, and it was super stressful. They asked me more than 10 questions. I also had to go into a few real patient rooms and say what I would do. This part wasn't too bad because real patients are different from scenarios. Third, there was a written test. This test was tough, asking things you wouldn't know without cardiac experience. I also had to do dosage calculations, but they didn't give enough info to figure them out. The good thing is they go over the test with you afterward. Fourth, they told me to go home and that they'd let me know within two weeks if they wanted to move forward. This process isn't great for new grads because they expect a certain knowledge level, and it's up to them to decide if you're good enough.

My interview process started with a phone call, followed by an in-person "shadow interview" with a doctor at the clinic. This shadow interview felt relaxed and less formal than others I've experienced. It was scheduled for 4 hours but wrapped up in about 1.5 hours.
