    Yes, you can become a Physician Assistant (PA) even if your background is in Computer Science & Engineering, but you will need to complete specific prerequisites and training. 

    PA programs typically require coursework in sciences such as Biology, Chemistry, and Anatomy. If you haven’t completed these courses during your undergraduate studies, you may need to take them before applying. 

    Additionally, gaining relevant clinical experience is often required or recommended. After meeting these prerequisites, you would need to apply to and complete a PA program, which includes both coursework and clinical rotations.
