Colorado Physician Assistant (PA) CE audits & penalties

What happens if a physician assistant misses CE requirements in Colorado, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.

Colorado Medical Board PA Rules (3 CCR 713-7) require a physician assistant to ensure the license is active and current before performing acts requiring a license. An expired license must be reinstated before the PA resumes practice; reinstatement of an expired PA license (demonstration of continued competency) is addressed in Board Rule 1.9 (3 CCR 713-1.9). (Replaces the PA-association secondary quote; the prior record's specific 'January 31 of even-numbered years / forfeiture / restoration fee' language was not verified in the current official rules and was removed.)Verify with board

How compliance is checked

The Medical Board may conduct random audits of PA continuing-education documentation; audited licensees have 60 days to provide documentation.
