With the educational requirements, the 1yr internship after 4 years BSc is compulsory. Similar to 1 year rotation for nurses and 2 years housemanship for Medical Officers
Great and pleased with this video. One thing though. As it stands in Ghana, PAs are independent practitioners and therefore do not directly assist doctors as said. They have their own consulting rooms responsible solely for whatever decision they make. What is coming though is that the MDC was looking at assigning PAs to specific doctors but hasn't been done yet. We'll done.
Kindly cross-check the list of schools with the Medical and Dental Council (MDC) list of accredited institutions. You cannot be a licensed medical practitioner if the school isn't accredited by the MDC
To my understanding, it means even as a RGN I need to include my wascce certificate with a science background before they will admit me into PA program
@@NurseSelase Hello thanks 🙏 so much for this information it’s so valuable. I am a BSN nursing student I am interested in the PA medical program. Do they accept international students?
Your video is opened to so many questions and loop holes. You are a nurse and perhaps i am pretty sure your knowledge about who a PA is and what they do is definitely not full. You should rather have allowed a Qualified and Certified Physician Assistant to explain who they are and what they do.
Nurse Selase, you did well by throwing some light on PA's💪, but your definition of PA did not have a world view. PA's are not mid level health professionals.
Hi....pls I need advice on which medical course to pursue....I just came across ur video and I don't know if going For PA medical course is a better choice
Please after four years of school you dnt jx start work, you will have to pass a mandatory lisence exams which comprises of surgery, medicine, pediatric obs and GYNE and public health, after that you will undertake a mandatory internship not national service, before u will be allowed to practice, you can actually graduate with a PA cert but without the lisence you are not a qualified physician assistant.
Please I’m an agric student and my electives are chemistry,physics,Gen agric and animal husbandry so I want to know if I can apply for pa directly with my Wassce certificate
They are two different fields requiring different skills and training. The question is not which is best but which one will you like to do possibly for the rest of your work life
Hi I’m currently a health science major and I would love to be a nursing major because I believe that it would benefit me financially and with my career aspirations of being a physician associate. Do you think it’s a good idea to get my bachelors in health science and then enroll in a accelerated BSN program, or should I just change my major to nursing? I’m currently a freshman in college and I honestly don’t want to make any mistakes.
I think you should research on the opportunities your health science degree offers and how you can use that to become an associate physician. I don't think financial benefits alone is enough motivation to do nursing.🥰🥰
Mis, please am about to complete the PA program from University Of health And allied science,...I will like to know the years it take for the Government to apply us
I'll look into it but what I know is the government gives the clearance for GHS to employ. So when clearance is given they'll open the Web portal for applications.
Hi Nurse Selasie I’m a diploma Midwife I want to pursue Physician Assistantship but they said it’s only for RGNS.. Is there any school in particular you know of that accepts midwives also
Thank you very much I wanted to apply for this course directly but I did not offer Science.. but I can offer a midwifery course for three years to be a registered nurse then I can apply for a PA course later with two more work experience right??
That means you went to PA school with a Nursing background, right? I am asking because the PA programme direct entry requires a pure science WASSCE cert.
So all you need to do is check the pages of schools that run the graduate entry medical programme(GEMP) such as UG, UCC, KNUST, gather your requirements and then apply so you can be admitted to run that 4 year medical programme and get your MB ChB(Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) degree. It's purely fee paying option and as such can be really expensive.
If you want to apply Kintampo or Yamfo then you need to buy the nursing application form. It's the same website but for the other schools you need to visit their website.
Hello sissy,would want to know if Bsc midwifery/Nursing students in the private universities gets posted or are recognised by the government sectors after school??
Yes If the school is accredited and the nurses and midwives can write the NMC licensing exam for their licence to practice the government will recognise and employ them when they apply for employment
I wanted to do nursing in the uds but they gave me midwifery I’ve tired changing but it’s not working so I wanted to do the midwifery then later do my PA since I didn’t do science in shs i’m using this channel.Please hope it’s a good idea
@@NurseSelase Alright. But is it possible for an RMN that just completed his national service pursue PA directly with his diploma certificate without serving for extra 2 years in order to get admitted by any of the schools out there?
@@vervetech9395 it's tricky but not impossible. But to be on the safer side it's best to get the 2yrs work experience to be sure no one can reject your qualification as a PA at the end of your training.

No
You only need your RGN certificate and 2yrs of service
@@NurseSelase Hello thanks 🙏 so much for this information it’s so valuable. I am a BSN nursing student I am interested in the PA medical program. Do they accept international students?

Please how do I become a PA after SHS?
Did you watch the video?
Can you replace E-math with physician Assistant
Wonderful videos so far. I am a general nurse with license but without the diploma certificate now. Am I qualified to do the PA program at Kint?
Yes you can, but the update is that you have to be a general science student from SHS. There are other schools without this requirement though.
@@NurseSelase I appreciate you so much for even the quick reply. Kindly, which other schools are they, because I did General Arts.
Your video is opened to so many questions and loop holes. You are a nurse and perhaps i am pretty sure your knowledge about who a PA is and what they do is definitely not full. You should rather have allowed a Qualified and Certified Physician Assistant to explain who they are and what they do.
That is true but this video is only giving an overview of the PA program. But I understand your point.
She did her best at least. I believe it wasn't meant to be detailed
Nurse Selase, you did well by throwing some light on PA's💪, but your definition of PA did not have a world view.
PA's are not mid level health professionals.
I have a question, and my question is let's say I studied nursing at the university and I want to become a physician assistant, what will I do please
You just apply. That means you will have 2 degrees
@@NurseSelase ok so that means I can become the physician assistant I want to become right or please tell me more
