PANCE Study Guide — NCCPA Blueprint Roadmap (2026)

Organ-system weights (2026 blueprint)

Cardiovascular (13%): Hypertension & hypertensive crisis; Coronary artery disease / acute coronary syndrome. Pulmonary (10%): Asthma & COPD; Pneumonia (community-acquired, atypical). Gastrointestinal / Nutritional (9%): GERD & peptic ulcer disease; Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's vs ulcerative colitis). Musculoskeletal (9%): Osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis; Low back pain & spinal stenosis. Eyes, Ears, Nose & Throat (EENT) (7%): Otitis media & externa; Sinusitis & pharyngitis. Reproductive (7%): Prenatal care & common pregnancy complications; Contraception & infertility. Endocrine (7%): Diabetes mellitus (type 1 & 2) & complications; Thyroid disorders. Genitourinary (6%): Benign prostatic hyperplasia & prostate cancer; Urinary tract infections & pyelonephritis. Neurologic (6%): Headache disorders (migraine, tension); Stroke & TIA. Psychiatric / Behavioral (6%): Depression & anxiety; Bipolar disorder & schizophrenia. Dermatologic (5%): Common rashes (eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis); Acne & rosacea. Hematologic (5%): Anemias & coagulopathies; Bleeding disorders & anticoagulation complications. Infectious Diseases (5%): Antibiotic selection; HIV & common opportunistic infections. Other (Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Professional Practice) (~15%): Pediatric presentations & well-child care; Emergency medicine — stabilization & referral.

Highest-yield study priorities

Pharmacology — indications, contraindications, monitoring, and adverse effects across systems · Clinical guidelines — apply current standards (ACC/AHA, IDSA, ADA, GOLD, etc.) · Preventive medicine & health maintenance · Pediatric & geriatric considerations · Emergency medicine — stabilization and referral · Cardiovascular & pulmonary — highest-weight organ systems

How AnyExamEasy aligns to the outline

Clinical vignettes — “A 45-year-old presents with…” board-style stems · Integrated pharmacology across all organ systems · Pediatrics and women's health emphasis in mixed blocks · Task-area practice — diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, labs, and health maintenance modes · AI-generated differential diagnosis and next-step management items · Roadmap tracking by NCCPA knowledge area and task area
