Physicians Associate Applicants 2024

I have been offered a place at UoP in 2024 - January start though.

If you're applying to uni for Physicians Associate courses for 2024 entry, introduce yourself to fellow applicants, ask questions and share your experience of applying so far:


What universities are you thinking of?
Current qualifications
Extra curriculars


Please don't share details of interview questions on the forum - it gives those who follow you an unfair advantage.


@CamembertPaws FYI

@CamembertPaws FYI

is that plymouth or portsmouth?

Also I’ve been invited to an interview how would you suggest I prepare?

This was the 3rd year I have applied, the previous years I failed at the interview stage!

This time I looked up practice questions for med school and watched a couple of youtube vids for interview prep.
Most of my questions were along the lines of what would you do in 'this' situation. Non were medical questions, more empathy & morals.

Good luck with the interview!

thank you so much, do you know what you did wrong at the previous interviews, like anything I should/shouldnt do?

Hello PA applicants. I’m a year 1 PA in study if anyone has any questions or help relating to the course more than happy to help. Good luck 😁

Hey what uni?

-Know your universities course layout why it works for you.

What if I get stuck on a question or don’t know how to answer it

The questions I had for my interview were fairly easy!
I think all unis structure their interviews differently but you should have some information about what they are looking for in your answers.

Good luck - let us know how you get on!

Hey so I’ve done it now and some bits were okay and some were hard. I realised due to nerves I completely messed up a scenario question like I said the wrong things that u shouldn’t do, do you think this could affect my chances of getting in since the pa course is competitive
