Yes, Physician Assistants can pursue higher studies such as an MSc or even a PhD. After completing their Bachelor's degree, they can opt for specialisation in fields such as healthcare management, clinical research, or medical education. Some may choose to pursue a Master's in Public Health (MPH) or a Master's in Medical Science (MSc).
A PhD, although rare for Physician Assistants, may be pursued in areas like clinical research or medical education. Higher studies can enhance career prospects, lead to leadership roles, and provide opportunities in academia or specialised healthcare fields.
