I do want to do medicine but since my grades and ucat score won’t suffice for almost all medical schools with foundation year I’m going to apply PA as well!

I am applying to UCLan and Reading for physician associate studies, and I haven't decided if I'm going to choose nursing or biomedical science as my backup, as physician associate studies is also offered as a postgraduate course. So maybe Surrey university too as I live in Surrey :smile:

some shadowing of doctors and a couple online courses. I think reflecting on your work experience is probably more important than how much you have got though

Does anyone know what structure reading interviews follow? I know it’s a 30 minute panel style interview, but i have no idea what questions could be asked (

questions are most likely going to be ones that test your understanding of the role of a PA and how you are able to adapt to scenarios that you may often face in the health care setting

I also got an interview invite, and booked November 23rd.
I’ll be honest with you. I have done little to no interview prep so I’m gonna be searching the Internet frantically.
How are you feeling about yours?
Hopefully you are calmer than I am :smile:
