To become a certified PA, you must pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE), a computer-based, multiple-choice test comprising questions that assess basic medical and surgical knowledge.

NCCPA’s certification and recertification exams can be organized in two dimensions:

To be eligible for the PANCE, you must graduate from a program accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) as a Physician Assistant Program. PA-program graduates will be deemed to have graduated from an accredited program if their PA educational program was accredited at the time of their matriculation.
