ABOUT PANCE

The Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination® (PANCE) assesses the clinical knowledge, clinical reasoning and other medical skills and professional behaviors that have been deemed important for entry-level practice as a PA. The exam specifications are based on the results of a profession-wide practice analysis, and exam questions are allocated to different medical content and task categories relevant to entry-level PA practice.

The examinations are administered by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
