My friend wants to become physician assistant. She's in her 3rd year and the classes Shes taking so far are not really for physician assistant . She recently came to the conclusion that she wants to be a physician assistant. My question is are there any programs for physician assistant program that she can apply to right away without any prerequisites like an LPN school for nursing? My other friend went to LPN school. After high school he took of a year and went straight to LPN school. He's done and now is doing his RN. Please if you know of any school or any programs similar to LPN school please help me. ThAnk you

This is a forum for pre-physical therapy students, so I don't really know why you are asking this question here.

The answer to your question however is no. If you did a simple Google search you would find that becoming a physician assistant requires a master's degree. To become an eligible candidate for application to a master's in physician assistant studies program, you must complete the required pre-requisite coursework, as well as gain a significant amount of healthcare work experience and take the GRE, among other things.
