Passing the Physician Associate National Examination (PANE) is required to become a qualified physician associate in the UK. The exam includes two parts. The first part is made up of a 200-question, single-best-answer assessment taken online and the second part is an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). At Plabable for PA, we focus on high yield questions which are written and reviewed by qualified physician associates, closely resembling the first part of PANE which is a knowledge based assessment, giving you the best opportunity to pass on the first attempt.
