<p>A PA is a master’s degree program. Red Rocks’ program is an unusual in that allows health professionals with sub-BA degrees (like a RN) to enter and complete the PA program. </p>
<p>Regardless, you cannot apply to medical school without fulfilling your math and science pre-reqs. Science pre-reqs must be done through an accredited on campus program.</p>
<p>Medical schools will not accept science coursework done through online programs [in part] because they lack the required labs.</p>
<p>Also please be aware that in 2015 the content of the MCAT exam will change. In addition to the current material (intro bio, gen chem, OChem, gen physics), it will expand to include: biochem, stats, and a new Human Behavior section (psychology, sociology, medical ethics).</p>
<p>If you are serious about medical school, instead of a MS in a marginally related field, you may be better served by attending a post-baccalaurate program for career-changers. These are 18-36 month long formal programs that include all pre-req classes, help with finding shadowing and clinical volunteeering and provide couseling and assistance in apllying to medical school. (Which is confusing process.)</p>
<p>There is a searchable database of post-bacs here:</p>
