Lost Certification?
We're glad that you are interested in regaining your certification!
There are two options for regaining certification - passing PANRE or PANCE.
To be eligible to attempt to regain certification via PANRE, you must
log 300 hours of CME earned during the six-year period ending on the day you submit
your application and payment. Also, 100 of those hours have to be earned during
the last two years leading up to the submission of the application and payment.
At least 150 of the total required CME hours must be Category I with 50 of them
being earned within the last two years from the submission of the application and
payment. Physician Assistants with an expired certification cannot log CME online
and will be required to submit any additional required
CME to NCCPA on a CME Logging for Regaining Form included in the CME Regaining Package. Your CME hours will not be reviewed and processed until you have applied online for a recertification exam.
No CME hours are required to take PANCE to attempt to regain certification;
just submit the online application and payment.
You can apply and pay for either exam online at your personal identification
record.
