    Yes, it is possible to become a doctor after completing a BSc Physician Assistant, but it typically involves additional education and training. After earning a BSc Physician Assistant, you would need to pursue a medical degree (MD or DO) to become a licensed physician. 

    This process includes passing medical school entrance exams, completing medical school, and undergoing residency training in a chosen specialty. The background gained from a BSc Physician Assistant can provide valuable clinical experience and a strong foundation in medical knowledge, which can be advantageous during medical school and beyond.
