Lost Certification?

We're glad that you are interested in regaining your certification!

There are two options for regaining certification - passing PANRE or PANCE.

For those regaining certification in 2013.

To be eligible to attempt to regain certification via PANRE, you must log 300 credits of CME earned during the six-year period ending on the day you submit your application and payment. Also, 100 of those credits 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 credits must be Category 1 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 credits will not be reviewed and processed until you have applied online for a recertification exam.

No CME credits 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.

For those regaining certification in 2014 and beyond.

To be eligible to attempt to regain certification via PANCE or PANRE, you must log online 100 Category 1 CME credits earned during the two-year period ending on the day you submit your application and payment. Of the 100 Category 1 CME credits required, 20 must be earned through either self-assessment (SA) CME or performance improvement CME (PI-CME). For more information on SA and PI CME, click here.

You will not be able to log CME credits online until your application has been processed.

You can apply and pay for either exam online at your personal identification record.
