Other people can answer PA issue better than myself.

As to med school, any major is fine (eg bio, psych, art history, music, etc) as long as you take premed reqs. Most people choose bio/chem, perhaps out of interest, but also because you can satisfy major/most premed reqs at same time (ie course overlap). You should choose any major you are interested in as if you actually like material you’ll tend to do better GPA wise which is something med schools are, in part, very interested in. Also consider a major with a plan B in mind as most students who start as premed drop out along the way, and of those that actually apply to med school, 60% fail to start anywhere. Unless you plan on pursuing graduate training, bio tends to be a somewhat poor choice as a major. Good luck.
