The B.Sc. in Physician Assistant is a 3 to 4-year undergraduate program that trains students to assist doctors and surgeons in clinical and surgical settings. This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to examine patients, take medical histories, perform diagnostic procedures, assist during surgeries, and provide post-operative care under the supervision of a licensed physician.
The curriculum covers subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, clinical medicine, and medical ethics. It also includes hands-on clinical training in hospitals, where students gain real-time experience in departments like general medicine, surgery, emergency care, cardiology, and more. Graduates can work as physician assistants in hospitals, clinics, and specialty medical practices. They play a vital role in improving healthcare efficiency, particularly in settings with a shortage of doctors, and can also pursue further studies or certifications to specialize in specific medical fields.
