My path to study Physician Associate

Hi, I’m a student in year 12 who is thinking of becoming a physician associate in the future . Do you guys think it’s better to do a biomed undergraduate degree before physician associate studies or to do the undergraduate physician associate course ?

I think I made a mistake when choosing my alevels because I wasn’t sure what I was going to do but I chose chemistry, biology and health and social care and I don’t think health and social care counts as an academically subject.

I don’t think I can change my alevels in my school and what type of degrees do you mean . I’m so sorry for the fuss I keep asking questions 😭.

Oh alright

Hi im in year 13 and have applied for the undergraduate physician associate course ( main) option and biomed to then do a masters in physician associate studies as a second option. I prefer the undergraduate route as the funding is better, plus no need to do the whole personal statement and interview process.

One option is to spend a year or two working in health care after school and do an addational part time A level or OU courses. A nice email to the university asking for their advice often get a useful responce.

The radical option is to move to Scotland as OU is free in Scotland for people on a low income then do a OU degree in 3 years while working in healthcare.
