Getting Ahead of PANCE

How PA programs are using assessment data to identify at-risk students and predict readiness

On-demand webinar

PA programs have EoR, EoC, PANCE, and PACKRAT data. Most are reviewing these data after graduation to evaluate program outcomes, rather than leveraging them during training to identify students who may be at higher risk before taking the PANCE.

Dr. Shaun Grammer, Chair of the Department of Medical Sciences and Program Director of the Physician Assistant Program at UNMC, joins Staci Miller from Enflux to discuss what proactive PANCE support looks like in practice, what signals matter, when to intervene, and how early, documented student support strengthens the outcomes narrative PA programs present to ARC-PA. Enflux Accreditation Intelligence for PA programs consolidates EoR, EoC, PANCE, and PACKRAT data into a unified view with a machine learning model that estimates each student’s likelihood of passing before graduation, shifting PANCE readiness from a reactive finding to a continuous, documented CQI practice.

Panelists will share findings from the national study and discuss practical ways to improve workload visibility, support resource allocation, and align faculty effort with program and accreditation priorities.

What you’ll take away:

Why most programs react to PANCE outcomes instead of anticipating them, and what changes when you do
What at-risk looks like across a cohort: patterns in EoR, EoC, and PACKRAT data worth watching
How the PANCE Readiness Predictor consolidates assessment data and estimates student risk likelihood before graduation
How early, documented intervention strengthens the student outcomes story programs tell ARC-PA
