Application Processing Timeframes
This page shows the current processing times for applications submitted to the Physician Assistant Board (Board). It is updated bi-monthly. The Board processes applications in the order they are received.
Please be advised that the processing times listed for an initial application represent the amount of time for the Board to complete only the initial review. The issuance of a license will be delayed for applications with one or more deficiencies. Licenses are issued on a weekly basis once the applicant has met all licensure requirements.
