Continuing Education for Physician Assistants: How Much and What Types Are Needed
Continuing medical education, or CME, is a fundamental aspect of a Physician Assistant’s (PA) professional journey. It's not just about acquiring certification; it's about maintaining the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high-quality care in a constantly evolving field. Understanding what CME entails, the different types available, and its importance is crucial for any PA, especially those new to the profession.
Guide to PA CAQs: Why They Matter in Today’s Healthcare
The PA CAQs (Certificate of Added Qualifications) are specialized credentials for Physician Assistants that demonstrate advanced expertise and knowledge in specific medical specialties. These certifications are awarded by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) to PAs who meet additional education, experience, and testing requirements in certain fields of practice.
