Foreign medical graduates Physician assistant

Hello all, My name is Dr Sushil Kumar. I'm an MBBS from Pakistan, wanting admission in a Masters PA program in USA. I need to know, do the pre-requisites completed/ accredited by a US college or university mean that we need to complete the same from a US college or University again, which we already did in our home country during the bachelor degree or just the equavalence evaluation by organization like WES is sufficient. And if there is anyone from outside US who successfully got admission in a US masters PA program, I would love to get in touch with them. Thankyou.

I would recommend you get the WES evaluation (course-by-course and with GPA) and then take an unofficial copy of it and reach out to the schools you are interested in. I have an undergraduate degree from Germany and I had to take every prerequisite in the US. I have just sent out applications so I cannot tell you yet how it went. But start with WES, that way your email has a bit more data for them to look at.
