Jeguilfo Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hey! I will be graduating PA school March 28th and taking the PANCE April 7, 2014. I hope to land a job shortly thereafter, as I will start applying for jobs in February. I was reading up on the NC licensure requirements and saw that it can take up to three months. I also understand I cannot do much besides shadowing until I get this license. Also, I don't believe NC issues temporary licenses for new grads. When should I start applying for NC licensure? Although passing the PANCE is an obvious requirement, do I have to wait to submit the application after I pass, or can I submit now and hope that by the time it gets reviewed I will have taken and passed the test. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeguilfo Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 I emailed to NC state medical board on their website, and this was their reply. I'm posting it here for anyone with similar questions! "Good afternoon. Thanks for the email. Yes, you can go ahead and start the PA application. While you have to pay and submit the application to us within 30 days, you actually have a year to send in all the documents to us. Most students complete the online application, pay and then start sending in the required documents. Often, we will have all the documents except the education verification form and the PANCE scores by the time the student graduates. This is really ideal because we can then issue the license quickly once we get the last two forms.Please let me know if you have any more questions."
