Deliverables: 100 Category 1 AAPA Self-Assessment CME Credits, 1,672 Board-Style Questions, Comprehensive Lecture Slides
Navigating the maintenance of certification (MOC) requirements for the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) requires a strategic approach to time and financial management. Whether you are preparing for the traditional PANRE or participating in the PANRE-LA, the burden of accumulating 100 CME credits every two years is a constant administrative task. Selecting a panre review course is not merely about passing an exam; it is about maximizing the utility of your employer-provided CME budget.
The PANRE Review Course CME Package offered by CME Review Courses is designed to address both clinical preparation and credit requirements in a single, efficient bundle. Here are 10 essential things you need to know about our 100-credit packages and how the gift card add-on system functions to benefit your professional development.
The most significant advantage of this package is the sheer volume of credit. While many review courses offer 20 to 30 credits, our PANRE Review Course provides 100 Category 1 AAPA Self-Assessment CME credits. This is specifically designated for the PANRE course. This allows a Physician Assistant to fulfill their entire Category 1 requirement for a two-year cycle with a single course. Because these are "Self-Assessment" credits, they are highly valued by the NCCPA and provide a comprehensive review of the entire NCCPA Blueprint.
Active learning through testing is the most effective way to prepare for the PANCE or PANRE. This course includes 1,672 board-style review questions. Each question is accompanied by detailed explanations and rationales, allowing you to understand not just the correct answer, but why the distractors are incorrect. This volume of practice material ensures that you are exposed to every major organ system and task area required for certification.
A unique feature of our program is the ability to include a gift card add-on with your purchase. It is important to understand that these are not free gifts. They are optional add-ons ranging from $100 to $1500 for either Amazon or Apple. When you select an add-on, the value of the gift card is added to the total price of the CME package. This creates a single transaction that allows you to use your CME allowance for both the educational course and a gift card that can be used to purchase medical equipment, books, or technology to further your education.
For PAs choosing the PANRE-LA (Longitudinal Assessment), the 100-credit package is an ideal companion. While the PANRE-LA is an open-resource exam, having a structured review of the NCCPA Blueprint allows for quicker reference and more confident answers. By using the panre review course as your primary study resource, you can earn your credits while simultaneously ensuring you have the knowledge base to handle the quarterly questions.
Clinical education is most effective when it is delivered by those who understand the specific professional scope and exam style of the target audience. All content in our pance prep courses and PANRE packages is written and curated by Physician Assistants. This ensures that the clinical vignettes and educational focuses align exactly with the practical realities of PA practice and the specific nuances of NCCPA testing.
Professional life is unpredictable. Our PANRE Review Course offers 30 months of access from the date of purchase. This long-term access is particularly useful for those who prefer to study over a longer period or for those who wish to use the course as a clinical reference tool in their daily practice long after they have earned their credits. The self-paced nature of the course means you can complete it on your own schedule, from any device.
Many employers provide an annual CME stipend that must be used within a specific timeframe. Our cme gift cards add-on allows you to maximize this benefit. If you have a $2,000 allowance but the course is only $399.99, you can add a $1,500 gift card to the package. This ensures you are not leaving professional development money on the table. Again, these gift cards are purchased as part of the package to enhance your educational resources.
While our primary focus is on Physician Assistants, other medical professionals find significant value in our content. Nurse Practitioners can claim AAPA Category 1 credit in many states, though requirements vary by state board. For Physicians, this course provides Category 2 CME credit. Internal Medicine physicians, in particular, frequently utilize our packages for a broad-based review of clinical topics, even though it does not count as Category 1 for them.
The course covers the full spectrum of medicine required for the boards, including:
This breadth ensures that even specialized PAs receive a "refresher" on topics outside their daily scope, which is essential for generalist recertification exams.
We focus on information delivery. The course is structured with a rigid, predictable template. You get the facts, the questions, and the credits. We provide the necessary documentation to show completion of the 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 credit without unnecessary fluff or complicated navigation.
To demonstrate the quality and style of the 1,672 questions included in the panre review course, consider the following Internal Medicine clinical vignettes.
Your patient is a 64-year-old male with a history of hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes who presents to the clinic complaining of a persistent, non-productive cough for three weeks. He was recently started on a new medication for blood pressure control. His vitals are HR 78, BP 132/84, SaO2 98% on room air. Physical exam reveals clear lungs and no peripheral edema.
Which of the following medications is most likely responsible for this patient's symptoms?
A) Amlodipine
B) Metoprolol
C) Lisinopril
D) Hydrochlorothiazide
Explanation: Lisinopril is the correct answer. ACE inhibitors are well-known to cause a dry, non-productive cough in approximately 5-20% of patients due to the accumulation of bradykinin and substance P in the upper airways. Amlodipine (Choice A) more commonly causes peripheral edema. Metoprolol (Choice B) may cause fatigue or bradycardia. Hydrochlorothiazide (Choice D) is more associated with electrolyte imbalances like hypokalemia.
Your patient is a 52-year-old female presenting with a 2-day history of burning epigastric pain that radiates to her back. She notes the pain is slightly relieved by leaning forward. She admits to heavy alcohol use over the weekend. Vital signs show HR 110, BP 105/70, Temp 100.2°F. On examination, she has significant epigastric tenderness but no rebound or guarding.
What is the most appropriate initial laboratory test to confirm the suspected diagnosis?
A) Serum Gastrin
B) Serum Lipase
C) Alkaline Phosphatase
D) Serum Amylase
Explanation: Serum Lipase is the correct answer. The clinical presentation is highly suggestive of acute pancreatitis (epigastric pain radiating to the back, relieved by leaning forward, associated with alcohol use). Lipase is more sensitive and specific for pancreatitis than amylase (Choice D) and remains elevated for a longer duration. Serum Gastrin (Choice A) is used to evaluate for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Alkaline Phosphatase (Choice C) is more indicative of cholestatic liver disease or bone turnover.
Your patient is a 72-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who presents with increased dyspnea and productive cough with green sputum for the past 4 days. His SaO2 is 89% on room air. He is currently using a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA).
In addition to supplemental oxygen and bronchodilators, which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?
A) High-dose inhaled corticosteroids
B) Systemic corticosteroids and antibiotics
C) Daily maintenance azithromycin
D) Immediate intubation
Explanation: Systemic corticosteroids and antibiotics is the correct answer. This patient is experiencing an acute exacerbation of COPD, likely triggered by an infection given the change in sputum. GOLD guidelines recommend systemic steroids (e.g., prednisone) and antibiotics for patients with increased dyspnea and increased sputum purulence. Inhaled corticosteroids (Choice A) are for maintenance, not acute exacerbation management. Maintenance azithromycin (Choice C) is used for prevention in frequent exacerbators, not acute treatment. Immediate intubation (Choice D) is not indicated unless the patient shows signs of respiratory failure or altered mental status not responsive to initial therapy.
Selecting a panre review course is a professional decision that impacts your certification status, your clinical knowledge, and your financial management. The 100-credit package from CME Review Courses offers a streamlined path to meeting NCCPA requirements while providing high-quality, PA-led education. By utilizing the cme gift cards add-on, you can ensure your entire CME budget is used effectively to support your career.
