When should I do PACE in my registration process? 

To apply for PACE, you must have already met the education requirement and be registered as an intern or intern technician. As an intern/intern technician, you can (and are encouraged to) gain practice experience to prepare for the Jurisprudence, Ethics and Professionalism Exam, PACE and the PEBC Qualifying Exam (particularly the OSCE or OSPE). These three registration requirements can be done in any order.   

Your intern/intern technician certificate of registration is valid for one year and must be valid until the final date of your PACE assessment.
