Irish Physician Associate National Exam

The Irish Society of Physician Associates organises and manages the Irish Physician Associate National Exam (IPANE). The ISPA hosted the first IPANE in January 2020.

​

Candidates should be a graduate from a recognised PA programme in Ireland, UK, US or Canada. PAs must also have successfully completed the national exam in the country where you received your PA qualification.

​

The exam consists of multiple choice questions (MCQs).

PAs are required to sit a recertification exam every 6 years. 

​

Please contact the ISPA at physicianassociateireland@gmail.com to enquire about upcoming exam dates and examination fees, as these are subject to change based on participating numbers. You can also check our 'Upcoming Events' section.
