Our course will prepare you for the National Physician Associate entrance exam. Successful completion of the exam allows you to work as a Physician Associate (PA) within the NHS. You will gain skills in history taking, physical examination, and diagnosis. You will also study clinical theory and undertake clinical placements. This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to qualify as a Physician Associate (PA). PAs are healthcare professionals with a generalist medical education who work alongside doctors, physicians, GPs, and surgeons to provide medical care as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team. PAs are dependent practitioners working with a dedicated consultant or GP supervisor but are able to work autonomously with appropriate support. The course will suit graduates of a bioscience discipline. PAs, while not doctors, work to the medical model, with the attitudes, skills, and knowledge base to deliver holistic care and treatment with the general medical and/or general practice team under defined levels of supervision.
