Price: $399.99
Access: 30 Months
Deliverables: 100 Hours of AAPA Category 1 CME Credit, 1,672 Board-Style Review Questions
Maximizing your employer-provided continuing medical education (CME) budget requires a strategic approach that balances high-quality clinical preparation with personal professional enrichment. As a Physician Assistant, your time is a finite resource. Utilizing a comprehensive PANRE Review Course that aligns strictly with the NCCPA Blueprint ensures you are not only meeting your certification requirements but also optimizing your financial benefits.
Strategic Allocation of CME Funds
Most healthcare organizations provide an annual CME allowance ranging from $1,500 to $3,000. If this budget is not utilized within the fiscal year, the funds are typically lost. By selecting a CME package that includes a gift card add-on, you are able to convert your educational allowance into tangible tools for your practice.
At CME Review Courses, we offer CME with Gift Card options where you can add an Amazon or Apple gift card valued between $100 and $1,500 to your purchase. This allows you to acquire the 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 Credit necessary for the PANRE while also securing funds for a new iPad, medical reference books, or clinical equipment.
Our documentation process is streamlined for professional reimbursement. We provide the necessary documentation that clearly outlines the educational value of the course and the associated CME credits. This ensures that your employer recognizes the purchase as a legitimate professional development expense. The PANRE Review content is written by PAs for PAs, ensuring the clinical vignettes and practice questions reflect the real-world scenarios and exam-style challenges you face.
High-Yield Clinical Content
The 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 credit included in the PANRE Review is specifically designed to cover the breadth of the NCCPA Blueprint. This includes essential updates in:
- Cardiology
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Gastrointestinal Systems
- Musculoskeletal Health
- Neurology
- Dermatology
By focusing on these core areas, you ensure that your study time is efficient. The 1,672 practice questions included in the 30-month access period allow for repeated self-assessment to identify and bridge knowledge gaps.
Clinical Assessment and Practice Questions
Scenario 1: Dermatology
Your patient is a 34-year-old male presenting with a chronic, recurring skin condition. He complains of silver-colored, scaling plaques on his bilateral elbows and knees. He notes that the lesions occasionally bleed when the scales are removed (Auspitz sign). He has no systemic symptoms and no history of recent infections. Physical examination reveals well-demarcated erythematous plaques with overlying silvery scale.
What is the most likely diagnosis?
A) Atopic Dermatitis
B) Tinea Corporis
C) Plaque Psoriasis
D) Nummular Eczema
Explanation:
The correct answer is C) Plaque Psoriasis. The presentation of well-demarcated erythematous plaques with silvery scales located on extensor surfaces (elbows and knees) is hallmark for plaque psoriasis. The Auspitz sign (pinpoint bleeding after scale removal) further supports this diagnosis. Atopic dermatitis typically presents on flexural surfaces and is associated with pruritus and lichenification. Tinea corporis would demonstrate central clearing and a positive KOH prep. Nummular eczema presents as coin-shaped, crusty lesions without the characteristic silvery scale.
Scenario 2: Cardiology
Your patient is a 62-year-old male with a history of hypertension and tobacco use who presents to the emergency department with acute onset substernal chest pain. The pain is described as heavy and radiates to his left jaw. His vital signs are: BP 155/92 mmHg, HR 102 bpm, RR 20 bpm, and SaO2 96% on room air. An EKG is performed immediately.
The EKG reveals 2mm ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. Which coronary artery is most likely occluded?
A) Left Anterior Descending (LAD)
B) Left Circumflex (LCx)
C) Right Coronary Artery (RCA)
D) Left Main Coronary Artery
Explanation:
The correct answer is C) Right Coronary Artery (RCA). ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF signifies an inferior wall myocardial infarction (STEMI). The RCA provides the primary blood supply to the inferior wall of the heart in approximately 80% of the population. Occlusion of the LAD (Choice A) typically results in anterior or septal wall MIs (leads V1-V4). LCx occlusion (Choice B) leads to lateral wall MIs (leads I, aVL, V5, V6). Left Main occlusion (Choice D) usually results in widespread ST changes and carries a very high mortality rate.
Scenario 3: Pulmonology
Your patient is a 28-year-old female with a history of asthma who presents with increased shortness of breath and wheezing. She has been using her albuterol inhaler four times daily for the past three days without significant relief. On examination, she is in mild respiratory distress, speaking in short sentences. Her SaO2 is 93% on room air. Diffuse expiratory wheezing is heard throughout all lung fields.
What is the initial pharmacological intervention of choice in the acute management of this patient?
A) Inhaled SABA via nebulizer and oral corticosteroids
B) Long-acting beta-agonist (LABA)
C) Inhaled corticosteroids alone
D) Antibiotic therapy
Explanation:
The correct answer is A) Inhaled SABA via nebulizer and oral corticosteroids. For an acute asthma exacerbation not responding to home rescue inhalers, the standard of care is intensified short-acting beta-agonists (SABA) to provide immediate bronchodilation and systemic corticosteroids to reduce airway inflammation. LABAs (Choice B) are not indicated for acute rescue therapy. Inhaled corticosteroids (Choice C) are for maintenance and do not provide immediate relief. Antibiotics (Choice D) are only indicated if there is evidence of a secondary bacterial infection, such as pneumonia.
