Conduct clinical examinations. Order and interpret diagnostic tests. Make decisions about patient management and therapy.
You’ll graduate as a flexible and adaptable practitioner. Once you pass the national exam set by the Faculty of Physician Associates, you can apply to be on the Managed Voluntary Register (MVR) of physician associates. The past ten years has seen a growing demand for newly-qualified physician associates within the NHS – in acute, primary care and mental health services.
