The assessments will let you synthesise existing knowledge and accumulate new knowledge in order to evidence the development of your professional practice.\n\nYour progress and achievements will be assessed through theoretical essays, simulated clinically orientated objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), multiple-choice questions (MCQ) and single best answer (SBA) exams. Your placement will be assessed by a Practice Assessment Document (PAD).",

"summary": "Train to become a physician associate and gain the clinical skills vital to the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients in primary and secondary care.\n\nPhysician associates are part of a rapidly growing medical profession in the UK. If you have a first degree in life or health sciences, our MSc Physician Associate will equip you to fill an important clinical role.\n\nWe’ll train you to diagnose illnesses, develop treatment and management plans, perform procedures and deliver patient education, counselling and health promotion. You’ll be able to take a patient’s history, perform physical examinations and procedures and request and interpret diagnostic test results.\n\nThis is an intensive and challenging two-year postgraduate course offering significant rewards.\n\nAt ARU, your postgraduate study will be divided equally between theory and practice, following the medical model of teaching, learning and assessment.\n\nIn your first year of this Masters degree course you’ll study on ARU’s Chelmsford campus in the School of Medicine. Alongside lectures, tutorials, practical workshops and simulated skills work, you’ll also go on primary care placements in GP surgeries.\n\nYou’ll spend all of the second year following a programme of clinical placements in general practice, hospital wards and outpatient settings across the East of England. Clinical specialties will include:\n\ncommunity-based medicine\ngeneral hospital medicine\nfront door medicine (A&E)\nmental health\ngeneral surgery\nobstetrics and gynaecology\npaediatrics in an acute setting.\n\nYou’ll learn to become a caring, capable, knowledgeable and research-aware physician associate, with high-level clinical and communication skills.\n\nAs the availability of work placements in the UK health service is limited, our MSc Physician Associate is open to UK applicants only.",
