Saint Francis University Physician Assistants Achieve 100% Pass Rate on National Exam
The Saint Francis University department of physician assistant sciences is pleased to announce that the master of physician assistant sciences graduating class of 2007 had a pass rate of 100% on the PANCE (Physician Assistant National Certification Exam).
Physician assistants must graduate from a school accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) and pass the PANCE to earn certification in the profession and use the designation PA-C as a certified physician assistant. The Saint Francis University physician assistant program has been in existence since 1979 and is consistently ranked as one of the top programs in the country, typically the highest ranked program in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the highest program not associated with a medical school.
