I can see that it might be a career path for a nurse or paramedic but others with science degrees? A young person with a science degree who now wants to go into medicine would surely be training to be a doctor rather than a limiting assistant qualification. It's perfectly possible.
It is estimated that graduates, mostly with science degrees, make up 10-15% of recent intakes to the five and six-year MB courses in Britain. Most come into the first year, but some universities accept students from bio-medical or life sciences or dentistry into the third MBBS year

I wonder what the profile is of those who choose this alternative.
