Licensing Disclosure

Following successful completion of an ARC-PA accredited program, a graduate will be eligible to sit for the Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE). This examination is the minimum requirement for initial licensing eligibility and is administered by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA). The details for licensing and practice eligibility are determined by state law and can vary between states, including initial and maintenance licensing requirements.

Licensure requirements for each state are provided by the 

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University has received provisional accreditation by ARC-PA (see formal statement). 

Following accreditation, a graduate of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University's Physician Associate Studies Program who successfully passes the PANCE will meet the minimal licensure requirements for the state of Ohio. However, no institution is able to guarantee a license is awarded to every individual who applies. Furthermore, while it is believed that the curriculum accommodates the needs of diverse communities, it cannot guarantee the same licensing expectations in every state are accomplished equally. Students are encouraged to thoroughly investigate the requirements of the states where licensure is desired.
