Moderator ventana Posted January 3, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2014 ahhhh simple question simple answer if you want to practice medicine - none -every state in the union and the VA require you to pass PANCE otherwise the sky is the limit, hospital admin, business, sales, management, teaching (although unlikely in a PA program as they want experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tariesen Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 May I ask why you went through PA school only to decide not to take the boards and practice medicine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna22274 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The more important question is do you need a PA license to do what you want to do? If not, you don't have to pass boards. If so, though, absolutely ZERO chance of obtaining a license in any state (not sure about PR and Guam but I do have a former student who lives and practices in Guam and I know for a fact she did well on her boards) without PANCE/PANRE/PA-C maintenance. You used to be able to work in the prison systems or IHS facilities without a current PA-C but I think those pathways are drying up as well. Just take the boards. It's not that bad.
