The PANCE is the FINAL STEP to becoming a Certified Physician Assistant–Prep for it wisely!
The thing standing between you and becoming a PA, other than school of course, is the PANCE exam. The Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE) is the ultimate goal of your PA training. It is a comprehensive review of everything you learned in PA school. Passing this test is the last hurdle to becoming a PA-C and starting your career.
There are multiple theories on how to best prepare for this test, so for today’s episode I asked Mike Nowak, director of Certified Medical Educators ([ Ссылка ]) and a practicing PA to join me on the podcast.
Mike is trained thousands of PAs over the years during his three- and five-day review courses and shares his best study tips and test recommendations with us.
