Overview

You’ll leave Surrey with the skills you need to make an impact in this exciting position in the NHS. Spend half of your training in clinical placements, to practise your skills in primary and secondary care settings, under the supervision of qualified practitioners.

Career opportunities

Learn from lecturers with international recognition for their expertise in medicine, who are all healthcare professionals currently working in the NHS, including registered physician associates. On this course, you’ll learn to support doctors (based in GP surgeries and hospitals) with taking medical histories, performing examinations, diagnosing illnesses, analysing test results and developing management plans. We’ll give you the skills you need to assess, diagnose and manage various medical problems as a self-assured, confident healthcare professional. Spending time with an experienced senior doctor, whether working under supervision or alongside your mentor, you'll assist patients who present with numerous different conditions. On successful completion of the Physician Associate Studies course from University of Surrey , you can take the Physician Associate Registration Assessment (PARA). Once you’ve passed this, you’ll be able to practise clinically in the UK. 100 per cent of health sciences graduates go on to employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2024, HESA). All our alumni have gone on to work as physician associates in primary and secondary care settings, specialising in areas including acute medicine, emergency healthcare and neurology.
