Noreaster Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I might be looking at a move and CA might be the destination. I notice that CA is not one of the 20 states that require the re-cert high-stakes panre to be licenced. Having always been in one of the 20 states that do require it, I've not idea if it's a realistic thing that any PAs are gainfully employed, despite not maintaining the "C." Some have said that insurance requires it but I dind't think that was the case. I'm hoping to get a pulse if PAs work fine in CA if the "C" has dropped off, for wahtever reason.

rpackelly Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 In a hospital system, academia or a big city, most maintain. In primary care or rural areas or closer to retirement, many do not. MICHIGAN is similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyJ Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've only been in Cali for a year, but have not met any C-less PAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raframos Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 "CA is not one of the 20 states that require the re-cert high-stakes panre to be licenced. " I work in CA and my 6 yrs after graduating is coming up. What do you mean we don't have to take the PANRE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I just renewed my CA PA license and it asked if my CME was updated through the NCCPA. I don't know how one would be able to maintain CME through the NCCPA without being NCCPA certified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noreaster Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 CA has a state PA practice board. The state requires certain CME, (may or may not be less than the usual) but, for state license in CA, the re-cert PANRE is not required. I think some hospitals require for privileges.

Katera Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Ok let me just say this. Don't drop the C unless you are getting ready to retire. It is a pain in the ARSE to get back. Suck it up, take the test, now moving to a 10 year cycle I guess and move on. The test sucks, but not as bad as trying to regain certification would.
