Physician Assistant License first issued in 2026

382 of Washington’s 6,173 active physician assistant license credentials — 6.2% of them — were first issued in 2026.

The 2026 intake, and where it stands now

These 382 people were first credentialled as physician assistant license during 2026 and are still active today. A first-issue year is the closest thing this register has to a start date: it says when the Department first recognised someone in this role, not how long they have worked in health care.

None of the 382 active credentials in this group carries a disciplinary flag in the Department’s published file.

Do not let the date pass

382 credentials of this type were first issued in 2026. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
