In the US you can get a Masters in Health Sciences as a pathologist assistant. The ASCP (American Society of Clinical Pathologists) offers a certification as a pathologist assistant. You might explore similar options in Nigeria if you plan to stay there.
Thank you for the advice.

Physicians Assistant would be a great choice. Many options for employment both clinical and non-clinical. You will need some patient experience. Each program has their own requirements so you will need to do some research on different programs. Hope this helps.

Hello,
I would say that depends on the country you are residing at, I see that you are in Lagos, Nigeria and as such physician assistant is not a profession in Nigeria so focus on what actually is thought in your country and a degree you can use anywhere.... there is Nursing, Dentis, Pharmacist, doctor. the most important thing I will say do not focus on the money part but what is the one thing that gives you job when doing it? that might actually be where your future career is at.

Any health professions degree provides a tabula rasa. How that slate filled is up to you. I recommend that you delve into yourself. What are your loves, hates, interests, skills, abilities , and barriers. Are you artistic? Netter's Illustrated is an amazing tome. Are you athletic? Physical Therapy or sports medicine are options. The prime directive here is you. Know yourself and apply that knowledge to your life's goals and paths.
To my knowledge, no directions in the science of pharmacy are mutually exclusive. If one direction is not for you, there are many alternatives.
Peace out

Hey Okikioluwa! 🙌
So you’ve got a Bachelor’s degree in Human Anatomy? That’s a solid foundation! You’re basically a master of bones, muscles, and all things human body—I’m sure you’re on your way to becoming the ultimate body whisperer. 💪
Now, let’s talk about what you can do next with that anatomy knowledge of yours while sprinkling in some humor and fun advice, because life’s too short to take everything too seriously, right?
1. Master’s in Medical Sciences 🩺
If you still want to keep things medical (because, hey, you’ve already cracked open those bones, why stop now?), a Master’s in Medical Sciences is a great option! You can take it further and specialize in something like pathology, biomedical sciences, or medical research. You’ll be working on understanding diseases and helping shape the future of healthcare! The best part? You’ll sound super smart at parties when you casually drop "I’m researching molecular mechanisms" into the conversation. 🎉
2. Pharmaceutical Sciences 💊
Got a love for drugs... in the professional sense, of course? If you’re into pharmaceuticals and lab work, this is your chance to dive into drug development and research. You can work with a pharmaceutical company or even a biotech startup and help create the next miracle cure. It’s a win-win: helping people and making things that could potentially save lives. Plus, who wouldn’t want to be the person who gets to test the latest in medical breakthroughs? 😎
3. Master’s in Public Health (MPH) 🌍
Let’s be real—human anatomy isn’t just about the body; it’s about the bigger picture. With a Master’s in Public Health, you can jump into the world of epidemiology, health policy, or even global health, where you’ll work on solving public health problems. You can be the hero who fights disease outbreaks, ensures health regulations are in place, and helps communities stay safe. Plus, you get to wear those cool lab coats and look like you’re on a mission—totally superhero status! 🦸♂️
4. Forensic Science 🔍
Ever wanted to help solve crimes? With your anatomical expertise, forensic science could be a thrilling choice. You’ll be analyzing human remains (not as creepy as it sounds, I promise) to help figure out what happened in criminal cases. I mean, who doesn’t want to be a part-time Sherlock Holmes, right? 🔎 The best part? You’ll make awesome detective jokes with your colleagues, and get to wear cool gloves when you handle the evidence. Double win! 😜
5. Health Informatics 💻
Now, if you’re ready to throw a little tech into the mix (you know, like mixing the human body with some gadgets), consider health informatics! You’ll be working with data and technology to improve healthcare systems and patient care. You might even help design electronic health records and software that doctors use—basically, you’ll be saving lives and making things run smoother with a computer. Don’t worry; you don’t need to know coding, just a solid love for tech and healthcare!
6. Biomedical Engineering 🔬
Ready to get a little hands-on and build things? If you’re into creating things that work with the body (think prosthetics, medical devices, and biomechanics), then biomedical engineering could be a fantastic path. You’ll blend engineering and biology to create solutions that can change people’s lives. And come on, who wouldn’t want to create a bionic arm or smart prosthetics? You’ll be like Tony Stark, but for healthcare! ⚡
Job Opportunities:
Where to work after all of this? You've got options that are both exciting and career-stable. Consider working in:
Hospitals – As a medical researcher or clinical specialist
Pharmaceutical Companies – Researching or developing new treatments
Research Labs – Whether it’s in a hospital or a private company, you’ll get to dive deep into the fascinating world of the human body
Public Health Organizations – You can work in epidemiology, healthcare analysis, or disease control
Forensic Teams – Solving mysteries, just like in the movies, but with science!
Bonus Fun Tip:
No matter what program you choose, just know that the world needs people like you. You're someone who can look at the human body, understand its mysteries, and use that knowledge to help change the world. Plus, you’ll get to show off your amazing anatomical knowledge while walking into rooms like a total expert. 👏
You’ve got this! You’re ready to conquer the world (or at least help people with your amazing anatomy expertise). Just pick your path, stay curious, and keep learning. The body’s your canvas, and there’s a whole world waiting for your knowledge!
Let’s go get that anatomy fame! 😄💼
