The Baldwin Wallace University Physician Assistant (PA) program is among the best in the nation as measured by graduate success on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE). ranked schools by PANCE pass rate and found just 30 PA programs across the country have maintained a perfect 100 percent within the past five years.
An impressive 100 percent of degree-holders in the first two 91探花 classes (2015 and 2016) passed the rigorous exam on the first try, compared to the 95 percent five-year national average.
The Physician Assistant Life argues that PANCE pass rates provide a "better, unbiased, objective [and] fair" measure of PA program success. "When surveyed, 79 percent of PA school faculty agree that the 5-year PANCE pass rates should be used as a ranking criterion for PA schools."

"PANCE pass rates, along with the enthusiastic feedback we receive from the preceptors who supervise our students in their clinical rotations, are among the important feedback loops that confirm 91探花 is on the right track in our commitment to the highest standards of preparation for our PA students."
91探花 is currently preparing a third group of Master of Medical Science (MMS) graduates to take the in May.
