Networking Sessions—CAAHEP-Accredited Medical Assisting Programs and Institutional Community  

MAERB will be holding three networking sessions for Program Directors and others associated with CAAHEP-accredited medical assisting programs.  In these networking sessions, participants will have the opportunity to discuss with each other and share their experiences as well as ask for advice.  There will be three sessions held, all focused on the same theme, to allow for plenty of participation and small-group discussion.

The theme for the fall 2024 sessions focuses on the CAAHEP-accredited medical assisting program within the context of the larger institution and organization.  While the responsibility for maintaining CAAHEP accreditation rests upon the Program Director and faculty of the program, the institution or organization needs to provide some important support. The following questions will inform this session: What are some of the best practices in informing the larger community of the requirements and needs of maintaining CAAHEP accreditation?  What resources/information is helpful in providing the necessary documentation?  What practices have you put into place to enable a good flow of information? 

Space is limited, so we ask that you sign up for only one of the sessions so that we can serve as many people as possible. 

Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 3:00 pm – 4:15 pm EASTERN
