Hi dhirenshiv
I have looked into this myself quite recently and if you done a relevant health care degree like physio there is a graduate entry route into medicine and u are correct its a four year medicine degree instead of the normal 5 year degree course.

Actually you can do it in just two years if you just want to be a Physician Assistant.
The OP said that they would like to do medicine, not pretend....

Don'tcha think it is rather childish to stalk people round the forums looking for petty point-scoring? Be off with you, I have no more time to waste on you.

Could be worse; I could go round the forum looking for opportunities to demonstrate how ******* ignorant I was.

okay this is possibly out of date info but I think most of the shorter graduate entry courses require you to pass some sort of entrance exam as well as the interview. Some use Gamsat, some use BMAT and I vaguely remember hearing about another one too.

yes you are correct iainmacn u also have to pass rather BMAT or Gamsat as well as pass a interview and have a degree that is recognised by the medicine school for their graduate entry(4 year)MBBS degree.:biggrin:
What are the universities that offer this chance to follow a MBBS degree for physiotherapists?
Yes,I meant that.What are the special offers for the physiotherapists in case of following a medicine degree?

You can find the entry requirements for graduate entry and standard entry medicine here:
https://www.medschools.ac.uk/media/2032/msc-entry-requirements-for-uk-medical-schools.pdf

There are no "special offers" for physiotherapists in particular, but your experience would probably be advantageous when writing your personal statement or at interview.
