Hello. I am a Physician Assistant and I was wondering if you have any information about board certification for PAs. I work in a hospital doing internal medicine as well as moonlighting as an Urgent Care PA. I am interested in gaining board certification in Internal Medicine, Hospital Medicine, Urgent Care and possibly Family Medicine and/or Emergency Medicine. I know PAs don't formally do residencies in the above named disciplines but I feel it would help our profession as well as us as medical professionals to be certified along with the physicians we work with.

Are there plans to have PAs become eligible for board certification in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, ER, UC, etc...? I would be very interested in learning and accomplishing that. Thanks for your time.
