How many years does it take to become a Physician assistants?

It typically takes around 2 years to become a Physician Assistant (PA) after completing the necessary prerequisites. This is comprised of a 2-year (or sometimes slightly longer) master's degree program in Physician Assistant Studies. However, this doesn't include the time spent getting a bachelor's degree, which is a prerequisite. Therefore, the total time is significantly longer, usually around 6-7 years from the start of undergraduate studies to becoming a practicing PA.
