Master of Physician Associate Studies
Program Overview
The integrated Master’s in Physician Associate Studies provides an exciting opportunity for you to become a Physician Associate, a medical associate profession, combining university study with practical work-based placements.
This four-year degree takes you through a rigorous training programme to exit with a professional qualification and a master’s degree. The role of a Physician Associate includes interviewing and examining patients, ordering tests and making decisions about patient management.
PAs are trained to be generalist medical practitioners with opportunities to work in numerous specialties. Our programme teaches the fundamentals of medical sciences in interactive groups, practical sessions and lectures. These are supported by case-based learning and clinical placements, enabling you to consolidate and contextualise your knowledge. In Phase I (Years 1 and 2) you'll study alongside MBBS students, with a slight variation in each year. Whilst in Phase II (Years 3 and 4) you'll study alongside our postgraduate entry MSc Physician Associate Practice students. Phase I will largely be based at the Preston campus whilst Years 3 and 4 may involve both the Preston and Westlakes campus. The clinical placements in a wide variety of locations will help prepare you for a career as a qualified Physician Associate.
From the start of the course clinical and communication skills are taught using our state-of-the-art facilities, volunteer patients and simulated role players. Utilising a spiral curriculum, knowledge will be revisited and clinically applied to direct patient care, preparing you for clinical practice.
