Physician Assistance – Physician Assistance for Health Care Professionals

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

This bachelor's degree program prepares students for a completely newly created profession in the healthcare sector, which has already been recognized by the German Medical Association and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. Physician assistants work hand in hand with physicians and support them in their tasks. They relieve physicians and make a decisive contribution to improving patient care. This makes the program a viable alternative for young people who are interested in studying medicine but are unable to gain a place because of the admission requirements. The program includes basic studies in Anatomy and Physiology, Scientific basics, General Medicine, Health economics, and Medical Technology. The 7th semester is a practical semester. Afterwards, students need to decide on a field of specialization: Operation competence, Administration, General Medicine, Emergency Medicine, or Medical Technology.
