Board Notes

A current NCCPA certificate satisfies the 100 general CME hours — mandatory topic courses (Medical Errors, HIV/AIDS for first renewal, Domestic Violence when due) must still be completed separately. Prescribing physician assistants must also complete 10 additional hours per biennium in the specialty area of their supervising physician, including 3 hours on controlled substance prescribing. Up to 5 hours per biennium may be earned through pro-bono services in critical need areas.
