BSN->PA->MD? Is that possible? more info?

A BSN program does not always contain the prerequisite science classes for medical school. A PA program is a side track. You will finish faster and spend less money with an academic undergraduate major (BSN is usually considered a professional major) and direct admission to a US medical school. Medical school is one of the very few US educational programs for which it is worthwhile to obtain a student loan. US physicians have virtually no problems in repaying loans for medial school.

The first year of university in the Philippines is roughly equivalent to the eleventh grade in the US as high schools in the Philippines start after the sixth grade. It is very difficult for graduates of medical schools in the Philippines to pass the US medical exam for graduates of foreign medical schools because they have had at least two years less of academic study.

In fact, medical schools in the Philippines are closing on account of lack of students since physicians in the Philippines are very poorly paid and they cannot pass the the exam to practice in the US. Instead, both men and women in the Philippines prefer to study nursing as it is much easier for graduates of nursing schools in the Philippines to pass the US nursing licensing exam. Medical school in the Philippines is not a good path and for that reason few Americans embark on it.

If you get an MD in the Phillipines, you still have to do your residency and internship in the united states. The total number of years will still be 11 to 12 years.
