Dear Aspirant
Both the courses are good and you need to choose one based on your choices. I will give you some information regarding both the courses so that you can figure out which to choose.
Bsc Phyician assistant - It is a 3 year undergraduate course in which candidates are taught diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive measures. The admission is entrance exam based.
Job scope -
Patient care technician
Dietician
Drug safety associate
And
BSc cardiology-It's a 3 year undergraduate course and involves Studies and Training of all the Test and Procedures related to Heart surgeries such as ECG, Angioplasty, Angiography and Etc.
By doing this degree you can became a Cardiac Technician or Cardiac Technologist and after completing Graduation in this course, you can do M.Sc. in Medical Technology (Cardiac Care), MSc in Cardiac Catheterization and Interventional Technology and Etc.
Note :
Don't be confused with word "Cardiac" it doesn't mean by doing this course you can become a "Cardiologist" or you can do MD or MS.
For MD/MS you have to do MBBS.
Cardiologist and cardiac technician both are separated
stethoscope is completely based on which college you study Bsc students are not allowed to wear a stethoscope during ther college hours. In the practice session they are allowed to do it. But some colleges will not be allowing each student to have a separate stethoscope
I hope it will help you
Thank you
