Health sciences faculty reviewing accreditation standards

Accreditation Expertise

We know these standards because we've worked inside them.

A close look at the accrediting bodies we support, the program disciplines we serve, and the experience behind our guidance.

Accrediting Bodies

The accrediting bodies we work with

We focus on the programmatic accreditors that matter most to allied health education — so every standard, handbook revision, and review-cycle nuance is familiar ground.

CAAHEP

The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs reviews programs through its Committees on Accreditation. We guide programs through self-study preparation, outcome documentation, and site visit readiness under CAAHEP standards.

Medical Assisting · Phlebotomy · Patient Care Technician

ABHES

The Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools accredits both institutions and specific health education programs. We support programmatic reviews and institutional alignment — from mission and resources to evidence of student outcomes.

Institutional & programmatic accreditation

NAACLS

The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences sets rigorous standards for laboratory-science and related programs. We help programs interpret the standards, structure outcome assessment, and prepare review-ready documentation.
