Detailed Breakdown

Arizona Physician Assistant Standard Renewal Requirements: Arizona PAs renew every two years by their birthday and must complete 40 hours of Category I CME before renewal; this includes 3 hours on opioids/SUD/addiction each cycle. The Board verifies CME and conducts random audits, with specific audit rules in regulation. See A.R.S. § 32-2523 and A.A.C. R4-17-205/R4-17-206 for the full requirements and audit procedures, and the Board’s notice on the 3-hour opioid CME requirement.

Certification alternative (ABMS/AOA or NCCPA): The 40-hour CME requirement is satisfied if the PA holds an approved national certification in good standing at renewal (e.g., NCCPA), per statute.
