The integrated Master of Physician Associate Studies provides an exciting opportunity for undergraduates to become healthcare professionals, combining university study with practical work-based placements. 50% of the final two years of the programme is spent in clinical environments. Physician Associates (PA) provide care to patients under the supervision of a Consultant or General Practitioner. Their role includes interviewing and examining patients, ordering tests and making decisions about patient management. This role is an exciting alternative to studying medicine and becoming a doctor. Our course will provide you with a solid foundation of scientific and clinical skills, and the opportunity to build on and use these through a variety of clinical placements in Lancashire and/or Cumbria. In the first two years of the programme, you will be learning alongside Medicine (MBBS) students. All of our course content is in line with the requirements of the Physician Associate Competence and Curriculum framework (2012) laid out by the Royal College of Physicians Faculty of Physician Associates.
