      A bachelor’s degree in any field (can be non science related) is required before applying to PA school. PA school provides a Master’s degree in Physician Assistant studies. There are many PA schools in each state in the US, but here are a few in Texas: Texas Tech Physician Assistant Program, Texas Tech Physician Assistant Program, UT Southwestern School of Health Professions, Baylor College of Medicine, UNT Health Science Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio - UT Health San Antonio.

      As of right now this is correct, PAs can't prescribe medicines or order ionising radiation. It's quite likely that this will change as the profession goes through regulation with the GMC, but not clear as to exactly when that will be at the moment.

      Yes but dentistry is a speciality the person has to want to be in. Very repetitive and if you’re becoming a dentist it’s obviously more years in school than a pa. If you go the hygienist route that is Super specialized and repetitive with a small scope of practice

    I'm sure that the PA career is great for those who want to do things the easy way. Patients want providers who do things the hard way i.e. getting into medical school. No intelligent person sees a PA when they have the right to see a fully qualified M.D.
