Details

South Carolina imposes no standalone state CME hours for PAs; the Board's official CE document states PAs 'must maintain an active NCCPA certification' (which itself requires 100 CME credits per 2-year cycle). Per SC Code §40-47-965(B)(3), PAs with controlled-substance prescriptive authority must document 4 CE contact hours every two years in approved procedures for prescribing and monitoring Schedule II, III, and IV controlled substances.
