PACKRAT Version 14 Available Now!

PAEA is excited to announce that version 14 of the Physician Assistant Clinical Knowledge Rating and Assessment Tool (PACKRAT) was released on November 4th.

This year, for the first time, PA programs that are not members of PAEA will be allowed to purchase the PACKRAT exam. Please note that non-PAEA programs will pay a higher fee for each exam and their data will not be included in the national data. Nonmember programs should allow 3-4 weeks for account set up.

As a reminder, PACKRAT is a tool that should be used to evaluate student strengths and weaknesses. It should not be used as the sole summative evaluation tool to meet accreditation standards, but it can be used with other program measures to satisfy this requirement.

Programs can order the PACKRAT exam by contacting:
