Alternatives & exemptions. No separate state hour count: before renewal the PA attests to current certification by NCCPA or a similar certifying agency approved by the Board.
Good to know. Rule fee table shows an annual renewal fee (not more than $150), but DOPL announced the Board of Medicine is transitioning to biennial licensure from April 1, 2026, so the cycle is not recorded. The CE requirement is met through NCCPA certification.
