RMUoHP

Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions

The best way I can put this: It is a new program so it may slightly easier to get into; however, the program is growing and they still have standards.

What I remember from my phone interview: In general, be able to emphasize why you are an excellent applicant for their program (remember, it's a program with a medical emphasis). From what I remember, they ask questions about your clinical experience (observations in undergrad, clinical hours, etc), job experience, what future changes in the SLP field you are interested in, why you are interested in a program with a medical emphasis, why Utah, what specialty you are interested in (it's okay to say you're unsure). That's all I remember but it's super quick! It's about 20-30 minutes. Try to have questions ready to ask them as well!

Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions! We focus a lot on different cultures, acceptance, and professionalism. We also have a pro bono transgender voice clinic and work closely with the LGBTQ groups nearby.

I attend RMUoHP and the faculty seems to be understanding about being pregnant during the program and/or already having kiddos. They have been very accommodating to the moms in the program and have told another student that they will work with her if she gets pregnant during the program. They also have lactation rooms on-campus. Hope this helps!

That's correct! I am currently in a newer program that is going through the accreditation process. I worried about being in a newer program, especially about not getting enough clinical experience or not having local (or out of state) placements. However, my program has been great with matching the students in the 1st cohort with local placements and externship placements (can be out of state). Newer programs have some kinks to work out, but honestly, every program does. I enjoy being in a new program because they take your thoughts/opinions/recommendations into deep consideration and you see changes being made!

Look into RMUoHP. They are a fairly new program (first graduating class will be 2019), so they might not be too picky about GPA. Just a reminder - GPA isn't everything. Programs will also look heavily on your letter of recs, personal statements, resume, GRE scores, and possible interview.
