What is NCCPA Certification?

Physician assistants (PAs) in the United States of America are certified by one certification body, the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. This shows that the one who owns a PA has passed the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE), to prove they have enough understanding and ability in clinical activities. The certificate is extremely important to obtain a license from the State and is accepted in every 50 State, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
