Who approves these programs
Who approves these: Washington's Medical Commission licenses physician assistants who graduated from an accredited PA program the commission approves and passed the national NCCPA exam (WAC 246-918-080). Idaho's Board of Medicine, part of the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), licenses graduates of an acceptable PA program (Idaho Code 54-1803), and Idaho PAs must keep their NCCPA certification to renew (IDAPA 24.33.02). PA programs are accredited by ARC-PA; each listing gives the status the program states. Source: WAC 246-918-080.
Checked Sep 29, 2026 against each program's own page (ARC-PA's list was cut off before the Washington programs when we read it). Dates, costs and approvals change: confirm with the program before you pay. A listing isn't an endorsement, and schools don't pay to be listed here.
