PANCE stands for Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination, which is a rigorous examination delivered to students who have successfully graduated from an accredited PA program. Graduates must pass the PANCE in order to achieve licensure to practice. Cohorts graduate from this program in May of each year, and PANCE performance reports will be updated periodically as students complete the exam. The program is required to share the last five (5) years of data as available.
