Anatomy of the PANRE Blueprint: What 100 Hours of Prep Actually Covers

The PANRE isn’t a mystery — the NCCPA publishes exactly what it covers. The exam is built around organ-system content areas (cardiovascular, pulmonary, GI, musculoskeletal, and the rest) crossed with task areas like history and physical, diagnostic studies, clinical intervention, and pharmacotherapeutics. Knowing that structure is the first step to preparing efficiently, because it tells you where the questions actually live.

The trouble for most recertifying PAs is drift. After years in a focused practice — say, emergency medicine or a single specialty — whole content areas go quiet. You haven’t thought hard about dermatologic prescribing or pediatric development or endocrine workups because your day-to-day doesn’t demand it. The PANRE, though, samples the entire blueprint. Effective prep has to be comprehensive, not just a refresher on what you already use.

That’s how the PANRE Review Course is organized. Its 1,200 questions are distributed across the blueprint’s content areas rather than clustered where questions are easy to write, so your practice percentage reflects real readiness. The 5 full-length mock exams reproduce the breadth and pacing of the actual test. And the whole thing carries 100 hours of AAPA Category 1 CME, so the comprehensive review that gets you ready also satisfies the bulk of your cycle’s credit requirement.

Preparing to the blueprint — deliberately covering the areas that have gone rusty, not just the ones you’re comfortable with — is what separates a confident sitting from a nervous one. When your prep is built to that same map, you’re not guessing what to study. It’s $399.99 for 30 months, with the optional $100–$1,500 gift-card add-on.

PANRE Coming Up? Earn 100 Hours of AAPA Category 1 CME — and Keep a Gift Card for Yourself

If your ten-year cycle is closing in, you’re facing two obligations at once: you have to pass the PANRE, and you have to have logged your CME to stay certified. Most PAs treat those as two separate chores — grind through a question bank for the exam, then scramble to find enough Category 1 credit before the deadline. The PANRE Review Course from CME Review Courses was designed to collapse both into one.

One course, 100 hours of Category 1 credit

The PANRE Review Course is an AAPA Category 1 Self-Assessment CME activity worth 100 hours of credit — enough to cover the large majority of a recertification cycle’s CME requirement on its own. As you work through it, you’re not just rehearsing for exam day; you’re earning documented, certifiable credit. Prep and compliance become the same task. Inside you’ll find 2,500+ board-style questions mapped to the PANRE blueprint with teaching explanations, 3 full-length mock exams so exam day feels familiar, expert-led video on the highest-yield material, and 30 months of access.

The gift-card add-on: put your CME dollars to work

Here’s the part PAs appreciate most. Many of you have an employer CME or education allowance — a set amount your group or hospital reimburses each year that simply expires if you don’t spend it. The PANRE Review Course lets you add an Amazon or Apple gift card to your order, anywhere from $100 to $1,500. You buy the course with funds you were going to lose anyway, and a chunk of that budget comes back to you as a gift card you keep. It’s a completely above-board way to make sure your hard-earned CME benefit doesn’t evaporate at year-end. The course itself is $399.99 for 30 months of access, with the gift-card add-on stacked on top at the amount you choose.

This is built for the practicing PA-C who wants to walk into the PANRE confident, knock out the bulk of their Category 1 CME in the same motion, and get real value back from a benefit they’re entitled to.
