Graduate entry medicine over PA

Hi everyone. I’m currently in my last year of university and I have three offers for the masters of physician associate course to start in September. However, I am wary due to the controversy and I have a fear that the role is going to be phased out and there will be no jobs after I have finished my masters. I know my passion has always been medicine and I am therefore thinking to apply for medicine in the upcoming September at the same time I start my physician associate course. This would mean that I would do one year of the physician associate course and then drop out to start medicine next year. I was just wondering if this is allowed with the universities? I know a lot of people are going to be thinking what is the point of doing the position associate course if you know you’re going to drop out but I don’t want to risk rejecting my offers and then applying for grad medicine and not getting an offer. I hope this makes sense and please don’t reply to me in terms of funding and money as money is not a problem. The main issue is I’m not sure if this is allowed in terms of dropping out of the masters to start graduate entry med. any help will be appreciated

Dropping out of the PA course may not look great when applying to the medical courses. Why not just take the year to get more substantive work experience in an HCA role or something...

I don’t know if I want to reject the course fully. I know the prospects are not looking good but I do have some hope for it. I’m just really stuck.
