- Once you graduate from a CMA accredited Physician Assistant Program, your CAPA membership gives you eligibility to write the Physician Assistant Entry to Practice Certification Examination, giving you the designation of a Canadian Certified Physician Assistant (CCPA).
Accredited PA Programs
The Physician Assistant Certification Council of Canada (PACCC) provides oversight for the PA Programs that were granted a Canadian Medical Association (CMA) 6 year accreditation status in 2016 and in 2017. The PACCC will ensure that the PA programs are meeting the standards for the maintenance of their 6 year accreditation status and will allow graduates from these previously CMA accredited programs to challenge the Canadian Physician Assistant Entry to Practice Certification Examination.
