When you're logging your CME hours as a practicing PA, you do this through which organization?

• A. ARC-PA
• B. NCCPA
• C. PAEA
• D. AAPA

Answer: (B)

Continuing certification for physician assistants requires completing and documenting CME, and the tracking of those credits is handled by the certifying body that issues the PA‑C credential. That organization is NCCPA, the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. ARC-PA accredits PA education programs, not credential maintenance. PAEA is the professional association for PA educators and students, and AAPA is the broader PA professional organization; they offer CME opportunities and resources, but the official CME logging for recertification is done through NCCPA.
