Price: $399.99 for the base course; total package price equals $399.99 plus the selected gift card amount ($100–$1,500).
Duration: 30 months of continuous access.
Deliverables: 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 Self-Assessment CME (PANRE Review), 12 hours of AAPA Category 1 Self-Assessment CME (Pharmacology), and a combined total of over 1,700 board-style questions.
As the 2026 fiscal year draws to a close, many physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners find themselves with remaining CME stipend funds that will expire if not utilized. June 30th is the critical deadline for many clinicians who need to use their 2026 CME stipend for a PANRE preparation strategy before those funds disappear. This "use it or lose it" scenario presents a critical opportunity to secure high-yield educational resources and maximize your professional benefits. The most effective strategy for managing an expiring stipend is to invest in a comprehensive review course that covers the NCCPA Blueprint while providing long-term access and tangible value through gift card add-ons. If your goal is to turn expiring education funds into a practical recertification plan, June 30th needs to stay front and center.
The PANRE (Physician Assistant National Recertification Exam) remains a high-stakes milestone in your career. Preparation requires more than just a cursory review of medical topics; it necessitates a structured approach to the NCCPA Blueprint. Our PANRE Review Course is designed to be the core of your recertification strategy.
By selecting this course, you receive 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 Self-Assessment CME. It is vital to note that for NCCPA certification maintenance, self-assessment credits are weighted at 150%. This means that completing this single course fulfills 150 credits toward your NCCPA requirements, effectively streamlining your certification cycle.
A common challenge with CME stipends is the fixed amount allocated by employers. If your stipend is $2,000 but the course you need is only $399, you risk leaving money on the table. Our "CME with Gift Card" model allows you to bridge this gap efficiently. You can add an Amazon or Apple gift card ranging from $100 to $1,500 to your purchase.
This approach serves two purposes. First, it ensures your entire 2026 stipend is utilized before the expiration date. If your employer requires CME funds to be used by June 30th, this becomes a practical way to execute your PANRE strategy before that deadline passes. Second, it provides you with funds to further enrich your education, whether that involves purchasing medical equipment, upgrading your hardware for better study access, or acquiring additional textbooks. This is an efficient, transparent way to use your CME money to its fullest potential, especially when June 30th is the critical cutoff for using 2026 CME stipend dollars.
In addition to the PANRE Review, maintaining prescriptive authority often requires dedicated pharmacology hours. Our Pharmacology Review Course provides 12.0 hours of AAPA Category 1 Self-Assessment CME. While the PANRE course is the heavy hitter for total hours, the pharmacology content is essential for meeting specific state-mandated requirements for nurse practitioners and PAs alike. This content was written by physician assistants for physician assistants, ensuring the clinical vignettes and pharmacology details are relevant to daily practice.
Professional training should not be a rushed endeavor. All our packages provide 30 months of access. This allows you to purchase the course now with your 2026 funds and continue using the materials well into 2028. Whether you are preparing for the traditional PANRE or the PANRE-LA, having a stable, updated question bank and lecture series at your disposal is invaluable.
The content covers a broad spectrum of medical specialties, including:
While the primary audience is physician assistants, physicians and nurse practitioners frequently find value in these packages. For physicians, these courses count as Category 2 CME. Nurse practitioners can claim Category 1 AAPA credit toward their certification, though they should verify specific state board acceptance.
Your patient is a 64-year-old male presenting to the emergency department with a 2-hour history of sudden-onset, "tearing" chest pain that radiates to his back between the scapulae. His past medical history is significant for poorly controlled hypertension. On physical examination, his blood pressure is 190/110 mmHg in the right arm and 165/95 mmHg in the left arm. His heart rate is 105 bpm. A new diastolic murmur is noted at the right sternal border. The patient appears diaphoretic and in significant distress.
What is the most appropriate initial diagnostic imaging study to confirm the suspected diagnosis in this patient?
A. Chest X-ray
B. Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)
C. Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of the chest and abdomen
D. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
E. Coronary Angiography
Correct Answer: C. Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of the chest and abdomen
Explanation:
The clinical presentation is highly suggestive of an acute aortic dissection. The key indicators are the sudden "tearing" pain, significant blood pressure discrepancy between arms, and the presence of a new aortic insufficiency murmur (diastolic murmur at the right sternal border). CTA of the chest and abdomen is the gold standard for rapid, definitive diagnosis in a stable or relatively stable patient. It provides detailed information regarding the extent of the dissection and involvement of major arterial branches.
Your patient is a 28-year-old female who presents with a 3-day history of increasing lower abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, and dyspareunia. She reports having a new sexual partner in the last month and does not consistently use barrier protection. On examination, her temperature is 101.2°F (38.4°C). Pelvic examination reveals significant cervical motion tenderness and bilateral adnexal tenderness. A pregnancy test is negative. Microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge shows numerous polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Which of the following is the most appropriate first-line outpatient antibiotic regimen for this patient?
A. Oral Azithromycin 1g as a single dose
B. Intramuscular Ceftriaxone 500mg once plus oral Doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 14 days
C. Oral Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7 days
D. Oral Amoxicillin-Clavulanate 875mg twice daily for 10 days
E. Intramuscular Penicillin G Benzathine 2.4 million units once
Correct Answer: B. Intramuscular Ceftriaxone 500mg once plus oral Doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 14 days
Explanation:
The patient’s symptoms and physical findings (fever, cervical motion tenderness, adnexal tenderness) meet the clinical criteria for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). The recommended outpatient treatment regimen must provide broad-spectrum coverage against the most common pathogens, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. IM Ceftriaxone 500mg plus oral Doxycycline (100mg BID for 14 days) is the standard of care. Metronidazole is often added if there is a suspicion of anaerobic infection or trichomoniasis.
Your patient is a 45-year-old male with a history of chronic alcoholism who presents to the clinic complaining of recurrent episodes of epigastric pain that radiates to his back. The pain is often worse after meals. He also reports frequent, bulky, foul-smelling stools that are difficult to flush. A plain abdominal radiograph shows calcifications in the upper abdomen.
What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Chronic Cholecystitis
B. Peptic Ulcer Disease
C. Chronic Pancreatitis
D. Celiac Disease
E. Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Correct Answer: C. Chronic Pancreatitis
Explanation:
The triad of chronic epigastric pain, steatorrhea (bulky, foul-smelling stools), and pancreatic calcifications seen on imaging is diagnostic for Chronic Pancreatitis. Alcoholism is the leading cause in adults. The calcifications are a result of long-standing inflammation and damage to the pancreatic parenchyma.
Maximizing your 2026 CME stipend requires a proactive approach. June 30th is the critical date to keep in mind if you are using 2026 CME funds to build your PANRE study plan. By choosing the PANRE Review Course with a Gift Card Add-On, you address your immediate educational needs, satisfy NCCPA credit requirements with weighted self-assessment hours, and ensure your professional development funds are fully utilized before they expire. If you are waiting to decide how to spend remaining CME money, do not lose sight of the June 30th deadline for putting those 2026 stipend funds toward a PANRE strategy.
