Frequently asked questions:

I am in year 4 of my degree as a pre-med student. Can I apply?

Yes, indeed – if you want to gain clinical medical skills and gain medical insight, this course is for you – at any level of premedical studies.
I am in grade 11, and I am interested in becoming a PA (physician’s assistant), is this something I can do?

Absolutely – any high school student in grades 10-12, college, and university students aiming at any medical or nursing professional career may apply.
As it is essentially a medical skills program – how will I be able to practice these skills at home?

The course is structured, and icons will indicate practical projects suitable for self-examination and projects where students will need a test subject. The test subject can be a family member (a mother, father, brother, sister, or friend). In an academic setting, it can be a fellow student. The supervision of a responsible adult (parent, guardian, or teacher) is essential in all cases where a minor is part of this program, or where a minor is functioning as a test subject. No exceptions!
How will I be able to practice clinical skills as I don’t have a stethoscope?

Students who need these instruments and items may order the Apprentice Doctor® Medical Set/Kit (see above) – containing all the instruments and items required for completing the Future Doctors Academy Foundation Course.
