Joshua Merson (SAR’08) of Chelsea, Mass., recently earned his Physician Assistant Certificate of Added Qualifications in Emergency Medicine. He writes, “Physician assistants seeking the Emergency Medicine CAQ must demonstrate they have advanced knowledge and experience in emergency medicine, above and beyond that expected of entry-level PAs or PAs working in a generalist practice. PAs seeking eligibility for the Emergency Medicine Specialty Examination must meet requirements of specialty-specific continuing medical education, experience in the field, and specific knowledge and/or experience in conducting procedures and being involved in patient cases that are deemed core to the specialty area of practice.” Email Joshua at mersonj@bu.edu.
