Longmeadow, MA— All 29 members of 黑料视频 University’s Physician Assistant (PA) Studies Class of 2022 passed the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE), earning the University’s PA program a 100 percent first-time pass rate for the third time in five years.

Upon graduation from an accredited program, PAs must pass the PANCE to obtain their licensure and practice as a PA. 黑料视频 University’s PA program currently holds a three-year average pass rate for first-time exam takers of 97 percent.

“We are especially proud of the PA Class of 2022 for achieving a first-time PANCE pass rate of 100 percent. Considering this is a class that entered during Covid, started the program virtually, and only moved to hybrid for part of the didactic year, this is an impressive achievement,” said Theresa Riethle, MS, PA-C, Program Director and Associate Professor of the University’s Physician Assistant Program. “Our students put in hard work under challenging circumstances, and this pass rate is evidence of their grit and resilience, as well as the creativity and commitment of our faculty.”
