I will be graduating from BSc Biomedical Science (with a 1st), wish I had the financial stability to apply for this MSc. Absolutely love it and I know it take a hard work.
If they have the ability to prescribe, would they technically be like a doctor? I know, they wouldn’t be titled as doctors officially but if they can one day prescribe then aren’t they extremely similarly?
Hi Phil, physician associates are medically trained, generalist healthcare professionals, who work alongside doctors and provide medical care as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team. Physician associates are dependent practitioners working with a dedicated medical supervisor, but are able to work autonomously with appropriate support. More information about their role is available on the Royal College of Physicians website (visit www.fparcp.co.uk/about-fpa/Who-are-physician-associates ) I hope this helps.
No, they do not have the same breadth and depth as as training, nor will they have the same responsibilities and clinical management roles as a doctor. That doesnt mean a PA is not excellent at what they do, but they are totally different from doctors.
No- they have a fraction of the training of a doctor and will never technically progress from the point at which they graduate ( or at least theres no summative evidence of progression thats demonstrable for a patient or employer) . 2 yrs pa training vs 5 to 6 for a doctor before graduation. Theres no post grad exams, no consultant post. A doctor graduates and then progresses up a well recognised training scheme for next 7 odd years- graduation is the beginning ! Hope this helps

Thanks for your question! On the MSc in Physician Associate Studies at Hull York Medical School, our students experience work in a theatre whilst on their rotation in General Surgery. After graduation, if you choose to work in a surgical environment you would be part of a surgical team and may, on occasion, assist a surgeon. That being said, surgery is recruiting Physician Associates to allow surgical trainees more theatre experience by removing some ward-based tasks. I hope this helps!

That’s a good question. It’s because PA is masters level training at medical school. I went from being a physiotherapist (an autonomous practitioner) to a Physician Associate. I now work in general practice seeing anything/anyone that comes through the door. I’m currently training an experienced paramedic to see our minor illness patients in clinic. 👍 try not to hate. We’re all on the same team.
A PA earns more than a doctor still in their first two years of working, which also does not make sense to me. That's not a dig at PAs, thats a dig at whoever decides dr's salaries. On what planet is it ok for a doctor to be earning less than someone who has less responsibility than them?
@@psps2034 This is a poor state of affairs, but that's an NHS/finance problem, not a PA problem. Doctor salaries are something we need to negotiate for much harder than we currently do, but PAs have nothing to do with that.

Don't get how a PA is on a band 7. when a paramedic who is an autonomous practitioner, who does so mch more, is on a band 6?! #madness

@@madamhenry ahhh makes sense... Oh no wasn't hating at all...was just wondering on why a paramedics salary was lower... But thank you for that!!! 🤓
