Accreditation Workshop, 2015 Standards
Initial & Continuing Accreditation
Saturday, September 15, 2018
8:00 am – 5:00 pm
The Accreditation workshop is an in-depth educational seminar designed to help organizations prepare for the comprehensive site-survey. Whether you are applying for accreditation for the first time or preparing for re-accreditation, these workshops can help you understand applicable CAAHEP Standards and MAERB Policies, processes and procedures to get your organization ready for its accreditation survey site visit. This program is led by experienced surveyors, who are able to share their expertise in and knowledge of the Standards and the survey process.
Outlined below are details about the Accreditation Workshop that is scheduled to be held at the AAMA 62nd Annual Conference (Salt Lake City, Utah) September 15, 2018. This workshop will focus on the current 2015 Standards. Preference will be given to people who have site visits in 2018 (late fall), 2019, and 2020. If the Workshop is not full by June 1, 2018, we will then open it up to others. If a program wants to send two people, the second person will be put on a waiting list and informed if there is space available.
