Physician Associate
Physicians’ Associates are in demand because of a shortfall in the number of doctors. Physician Associates learn vital skills to diagnose, treat and care for patients in a variety of specialist settings. If you have a first degree in life or health sciences, our MSc as a Physicians' Associate will train you in a wide range of clinical skills.
As a physician associate, you’ll fill an important clinical role. You’ll be able to take a patient’s history, perform physical examinations and request and interpret diagnostic test results. You’ll be able to diagnose illnesses; develop treatment and management plans; perform therapeutic procedures; prescribe medication (subject to legislation); and undertake patient education, counselling and health promotion.
Our Masters degree will help you develop a range of skills relating to the cardiovascular, respiratory and gastro-intestinal systems; the eyes, ears, nose and throat; the skin; and the renal, genitourinary, male and female reproductive systems. You’ll learn to become a caring, capable, knowledgeable and research-aware physician’s associate, with high-level clinical and communication skills.
Your study will be divided equally between theory and practice. Besides lectures, tutorials, practical workshops, role play and simulated skills work on campus, you’ll complete a programme of clinical placement rotations in hospital wards, outpatient settings and general practice across the East of England in the following clinical specialties (minimum hours in brackets):
- obstetrics and gynaecology (90 hours)
- paediatrics in an acute setting (90 hours)
- community-based medicine (180 hours)
- general surgery (90 hours)
- general hospital medicine (350 hours)
- mental health (90 hours).
This is an intensive and challenging course – but one which offers its own, significant rewards.

The UK physician’s associate scheme builds on 40 years’ proven success of a similar system in the USA. Physician associates fill an emerging and increasingly important role in the UK, not least because they help to mitigate the UK shortfall in medics as well as contributing to the general efficiency of improving health are delivery for all NHS patients.
There are increasing opportunities for employment in the NHS acute and primary healthcare service sector across the East of England. Graduate physician associates are frequently appointed to roles in general practice, cardiology, neurosurgery and other specialties.
