Integrated Masters - Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) - Physician Associate Studies (BB96)

Train to become a fully qualified physician associate with the MPAS Physician Associate Studies programme. Gain the skills and knowledge to become a physician associate: a healthcare professional trained in the medical model, being developed across the NHS. As a member of a medical team, work alongside doctors in hospitals and GP practices, supporting the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

The first two years of this programme will equip students with a strong biological science base, and the ability to apply this learning to inform medical practice. This course offers industry specific training, teaching from medical experts and clinical placements. 

In the first two years, students will undertake mini work-shadowing placements to understand the working environment of the NHS. In the third year, students will work on rotation with around 350 hours of clinical placements in both primary and secondary healthcare settings. In the final year, this will increase to 1,350 hours, ensuring that students are well prepared to practice as a physician associate upon graduation.
