    Please don't waste any spaces. There are people who work for years to get into PA school AND who don't want to be physicians.

    And no, there are no programs who do that.

    PS- PA- 6-7 years. PA then MD- 10+ years. Anyway, to get MD you need 8 years so 1 additional year is going to kill him or something? He needs to think of some other career if he is not willing to go to college for many years.

    No such thing. One med school in the caribbean offers PAs admittance, but that's it. No one "bridges" into med school.
