I'm an early-career family medicine PA, and can tell you with confidence that yes, you can. Most PAs are educated at master's degree level, and you can major in anything as an undergraduate, including biochemistry. In fact, I think your major will be a unique strength in training to become a PA. Check out this link to look at the steps to becoming a PA, by the AAPA (American Academy of PAs):

Let me know if you have any specific questions for me.

Good luck!

The requirements for schools can vary I would start with looking at the top schools your are interested in and looking at each of their requirements. MyPAbox is a great resource for that! It is also important to shadow, volunteer and find leaderships roles to add to your application.
