Deliverables: 100 Hours of AAPA Category 1 CME Credit (PANRE Review), Pharmacology CME, and Gift Card Add-ons ($100 – $1,500)
Physician assistants and nurse practitioners often face the challenge of maximizing their annual CME allowance before the fiscal year ends. When your employer provides a set budget for professional development, finding an efficient way to utilize those funds is essential. CME packages with gift card add-ons have become a primary solution for clinicians looking to streamline their education while gaining extra value.
At CME Review Courses, we provide comprehensive review materials written by physician assistants for physician assistants. Whether you are preparing for the PANRE, the PANRE-LA, or simply need to fulfill your pharmacology requirements, our courses offer the clinical depth required for modern practice.
The $1,500 Amazon gift card add-on is our most popular option for a reason. It allows you to utilize a significant portion of your CME allowance in one transaction. This is not a separate purchase but an integrated part of the CME package. By selecting the $1,500 add-on, you are investing in high-level clinical content while securing funds to further your professional library.
When you enroll in our PANRE Review Course, you are eligible for 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 CME credit. This is a massive deliverable that can satisfy nearly all your biennial requirements in a single course. It is important to note that while the Pharmacology course also provides Category 1 credit, the 100-hour designation specifically applies to the full PANRE Review package.
One of the most effective ways to use an Amazon gift card is to purchase physical textbooks that you can keep in your clinical workspace. We recommend using your gift card to pick up the Comprehensive PANCE Review Book and EKG Rhythms & 12 Leads. These books are designed to supplement the digital course content, providing a tangible reference for daily rounds or exam prep.
Unlike many generic board review courses, our content is curated by physician assistants who understand the specific nuances of the NCCPA Blueprint. We cover a broad range of specialties including Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Orthopedics, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Neurology, Cardiology, and OB/GYN. This ensures that the clinical vignettes you study are relevant to your actual practice and the boards.
CME gift cards represent an efficient use of your professional development funds. Many clinicians find themselves with leftover funds at the end of the year. Instead of letting that money expire, you can purchase a package that provides both the necessary credits and the ability to buy medical equipment, books, or electronics that aid in your ongoing education.
For nurse practitioners and PAs with prescriptive authority, pharmacology-specific CME is often a state requirement. Our Pharmacology Course provides dedicated Category 1 AAPA credit that counts toward these mandates. This is a critical addition for anyone looking to stay current on therapeutic updates and drug interactions.
While our courses are primarily designed for PAs, we see significant enrollment from Internal Medicine Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. For physicians, our content typically counts as Category 2 CME. Nurse practitioners can often claim Category 1 AAPA credit in many states, though we recommend verifying with your specific state board.
The digital nature of our CME packages means you can study on your own schedule. There is no need to travel to expensive conferences or take time away from your clinical practice. You receive 12 months of access to the materials, allowing you to move through the clinical content at a pace that suits your professional workload.
While passing the PANRE or PANRE-LA is a primary goal, the true value of these courses lies in clinical enrichment. The gift card options allow you to purchase additional tools: such as a new stethoscope, medical apps, or specialized reference guides: that enhance your ability to provide high-quality patient care.

Your patient is a 64-year-old male presenting to the emergency department with a 2-hour history of substernal chest pressure that radiates to his left jaw. He appears diaphoretic and pale. His past medical history is significant for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and tobacco use.
Vital Signs:
An EKG is performed and reveals 3mm ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF.
What is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
A) Administer 324 mg of aspirin and activate the cardiac catheterization lab.
B) Order a chest X-ray to rule out aortic dissection.
C) Obtain serial troponins and wait for results before starting anticoagulation.
D) Administer intramuscular morphine for pain control and monitor.
Answer: A) Administer 324 mg of aspirin and activate the cardiac catheterization lab.
Explanation: The patient is presenting with a classic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) involving the inferior wall (leads II, III, aVF). In the setting of an acute STEMI, time is myocardium. The priority is immediate reperfusion. Aspirin should be administered immediately (chewed for faster absorption) and the catheterization lab must be activated for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Choice B is incorrect because while aortic dissection is a differential for chest pain, the EKG findings here are diagnostic for STEMI and should take priority. Choice C is incorrect because waiting for troponins in the face of ST elevation on EKG delays definitive treatment and increases mortality. Choice D is incorrect because intramuscular injections should be avoided in patients who may require thrombolytics or anticoagulation, and morphine is not the priority over reperfusion.
If the practice question above highlighted a gap in your knowledge, you are not alone. EKG interpretation is one of the most challenging sections of the NCCPA Blueprint. This is where the EKG Rhythms & 12 Leads book becomes an invaluable resource.
This book simplifies complex waveforms into actionable clinical patterns. By using your Amazon gift card from your CME purchase to acquire this book, you are doubling the value of your education. You get the Category 1 credits from the course and a physical reference guide that you can use at the bedside.
We believe that CME should be more than a checkbox. It should be a practical, efficient, and rewarding process. By offering CME with Amazon gift cards, we allow you to tailor your education to your specific needs.
If you are a Physician Assistant preparing for the PANRE-LA or the traditional PANRE, our 100-hour course is designed to provide the exact level of detail you need to succeed without the fluff. We focus on high-yield clinical facts and real-world application.
