You would still need to go through 4 years of medical school a residency. good thing is that you only need to take the MCAT since you already have a lengthy science background. MCAT tests you on verbal reasoning, physics, general chemistry, organic chemistry, biological sciences, and essays...you probably are well experienced in those areas, but there is no shortcut for you, you still need to take 4 years of med school in addition to residency. best luck to you.

Apply to medical school
Being a PA does not shorten the training, but makes part of it easier to grasp some concepts

Medical school would be the only way. First I believe you must take the MCATs and then apply to Med School. Does your P.A. training and education give you all the pre-requisites needed for Med School? If not, you will need to take those first.
