BEFORE I START UP I LET YOU KNOW WHAT ARE THE DEGREES COMES UNDER THE ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCE AND PARA-MEDICAL.

AMONG THOSE, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT COVER EACH AND EVERY MULTI SPECIALITY FIELD AND THE MODE OF WORK OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT(pa) IS ,THEY CAN INDEPENDENTLY DIAGNOSE,CONDUCT ROUNDS,ORDER LAB AND SCANS,INTERPRET RESULTS PRESCRIBE MEDICATION UNDER SUPERVISION OF DOCTOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY CAN BE THE FIRST ASSIST IN SURGERY TOO!!!!! THEY ARE SAME LIKE HOUSE SURGEONS AND RESIDENTS

SO THIS IS THE ONLY REASON I TOOK THIS COURSE.

THE APPLICATION PROCEDURE IS ONLINE MODE, ALL WE HAVE DO IS TO FILL THE FORM, MAKE A PAYMENT, AND WAIT UPTO THE PROVISIONAL RANK LIST TO BE REVEALED,ONCE ITS RELEASED THE COUNSELLING STARTS WITHIN TWO DAYS BY MAILING THE CALL LETTER TO RESPECTIVE STUDENTS. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE GOVERNMENT COLLEGE THIS IS THE ONLY CERTAIN WAY.NO CHEAT CHITS!!!!

IN CASE OF PRIVATE IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT, WE CAN DIRECTLY APPLIED TO CONCERNED INSTITUTION THROUGH ONLINE OR OFFLINE MODE, THEY CONDUCT ENTRANCE EXAMS AND TAKE UP THE CANDIDATES.

FOR OTHER THAN STATE BOARD STUDENTS(AS PER TAMIL NADU GUIDELINES) THE CANDIDATE SHOULD APPLY FOR ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATE WHICH IS THE KEY TO ENTER ANY OF THE INSITUTION.

ONLY THE STUDENTS BELONG TO THE STATE OR MUST COMPLETED THEIR EDUCATION IN THEIR RESPECTIVE STATE FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL.OTHER WISE A NATIVITY CERTIFICATE MUST BE PRODUCED TO THE INSITUTION.

CHOOSING A COLLEGE ISN'T A THING SERIOUSLY THOUGH!!!.RATHER THAN BEING A STUDENT BEING A CERTIFIED PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT IS MORE CHALLENGING.I'LL EXPLAIN ABOUT THE PONS AND CONS OF BEING A MEMEBER OF THIS COURSE IN THE NEXT UPCOMING BLOG

THANK YOU AND STAY TUNED
