A Physician Assistant is a trained medical professional who works under the supervision of a licensed physician. Unlike doctors, they do not have independent practice rights and must work as part of a medical team.

However, within their role, PAs can assist in medical procedures, diagnose conditions, and support treatment planning. Their level of autonomy depends on institutional policies and regional healthcare regulations.

No, a BMLT course does not qualify one to become a medical doctor (physician) in India. BMLT is a specialised degree that focuses on medical laboratory technology and diagnostics. 

To become a medical doctor (physician), one typically needs to complete a medical degree program, such as MBBS or MD.

If one is really interested in becoming a medical doctor, they would need to pursue an MBBS or MD programme after completing their BMLT degree. The BMLT admission requirements and procedures for medical programs vary by institution, so it's essential to research the specific requirements of the medical schools you're interested in.

To become a doctor, you must follow primarily an education that begins with completing a Bachelor's degree generally in a science-related field such as biology or chemistry. The most common route is to pursue a bachelor's degree in medicine and a bachelor's degree in surgery (MBBS), which is 5.5 years of training that includes both theoretical and practical training culminating in mandatory internship. After obtaining an MBBS degree you can further specialize by pursuing postgraduate degrees like a MD or MS in Medicine which usually take another three years to complete.
