Aspiring pysicain assistants need a qualifying bachelor’s degree to gain admission to a graduate program.

some graduate schools accept a bachelor’s degree in any subject, but a degree in a relevant area, such as health science or nursing, provides ideal preparation for a PA graduate program.

Obtain a bachelor’s degree and complete common prerequisite courses.

Accrue healthcare and patient care experience hours (HCE/PCE).

Why become a PA and not a Doctor ?

Becoming a physician assistant allows someone to provide health care without the lengthy and strenuous education that is mandatory for a doctor. 

Physician assistants can examine patients, prescribe medicine, order diagnostic tests and perform a host of other duties that doctors also do, experts say.
