Physician Associate to Doctor

The PA career is for doctor rejects. Well done on trying to better yourself.

Are you currently doing a postgraduate

And you sound like you're in denial

See even you admit it's a failure

Yeah I am. I did a BSc in Biomedicine then straight onto the PA course

No? By that logic (or lack thereof), being a chartered accountant is failure because I don't want to be a chartered accountant.
Some people want to be PAs, it's not something I have personally considered.

Tbh you don't sound like you know what's going on in your heard. Consider seeing a shrink? (and not a PA shrink )

True, some people just want to be some things even tho others think it’s the rejection route.
It’s like asking a nurse why she didn’t become a doctor, some people just wanna be nurses, PAs period

Your mother was a troll and that's why you dropped out of her rectum.

It's a question of whether you truly want to spend that much time studying to become a doctor really...
and then the years training, especially if you are attempting to become a consultant.

Hi Naomi,
The whole point of this thread wasn't for you to start unloading on PAs. All I wanted to know was if anyone had gone from being a PA to being a doctor.
As a tip for the future, please remember that your conduct online is as important as your conduct in person, and that when you provide your full name on here it makes it rather easy to report your rather foul behaviour to important people, like your tutors for example. Secondly, as you say you're a medical student, I think everyone would expect a lot better behaviour and a lot more tolerance towards others. As a future doctor you should be able to appreciate the vital work that everyone plays in the NHS, from HCA to consultant. Finally, there are PAs working in lots of areas right now who are so qualified and well respected in their fields that they teach junior doctors and CT doctors. I suggest you find a PA and spend time with them so you realise what they're fully capable of. X

Hi ! Ye I qualified from being PA and now in 3rd medical school.

Really? That's good to hear. How long did you work as a PA before going into medicine? How was the transition? How's your course going? I have so many questions

I worked as a PA for 2 years then decided to apply to medical school. The transition was fairly comfortable, it’s not a massive transition if I’m being honest. Ye the course is great. One thing you will notice is the pace at which we learn topics is a lot quicker in medicine than the PA degree but you get used to it.
