1st time PANCE pass rates; students and teaching

[suspirar]

The first-time PANCE pass rates, starting in 2010 and going backwards in time, are as follows: 82.4, 78, 94, 85.7, 92.9, 81, 81, 66.7, 84, 72.7. In contrast, the total pass rates, which include repeat takers, are close to 100% for every year.

 

The first-time PANCE pass rates are lower than the national average. I'm hoping that a current or former student of UTPA's PA program will write whether they think UTPA and the clinicals prepared the students well enough for the PANCE. Were students who took extracurricular supplemental PANCE prep courses more likely to pass the PANCE? Does UTPA offer help to students who don't pass the PANCE?
