Hey ~
Should I become PA first then try to Medical school? Does PA has much knowledge as MD do?
If anyone can answer my question, I will be really glad.

If your ultimate goal is to become a physician, then work toward that. If you're thinking about becoming a PA to boost your application, then you're wasting both time and money! There are many other avenues you can take to gain healthcare experience.
To answer your 2nd question...MD/DO's have much more education and training than PAs. That's a no-brainer! 😉 😛
