Good to know. 100 credit hours per renewal period. New Hampshire now titles PAs 'physician associate'. Renewal under OPLC rules Plc 308 (cycle not stated in Med 600). The 3-hour pain/addiction CE for PDMP registrants (Med 402.01(o), RSA 318-B:40) is in the physician chapter; whether it binds PAs was not confirmed.
