During its summer meeting, the CoAEMSP Board of Directors approved changes to the fee structure for certain accreditation services.
The board is cognizant of the financial resources of Paramedic programs and recognizes its fiscal responsibility to programs

and
sponsor organizations. The decision to change the existing fees came after many months of discussion--some spirited--exploring different options, and working through the advantages and disadvantages of each. The changes to some of the fees will give us the opportunity to provide:
- additional services
- additional programming
- necessary support to programs
- efficiency in the accreditation processes for programs, site visitors, and board members
With the increase in Paramedic programs, there is an increase in workload. Currently there are 690 programs seeking or maintaining accreditation. On a monthly basis, the CoAEMSP averages 2-5 new programs entering the accreditation system. The new fee structure will allow the CoAEMSP to continue to provide the best possible service to its programs.
The new or increased fees are shown in the chart below and can also be found
here. All other fees remain the same.

Friday, December 23 to Monday, December 26, 2016
Friday, December 30, 2016 to Monday, January 2, 2017
We hope your holidays will be safe, happy and healthy! We look forward to working with you in the New Year!

Webinar Registration Ends Friday!
"CAAHEP Accreditation - From Beginning to End"
|
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2-3 PM Eastern
 Join CAAHEP for the webinar, "CAAHEP Accreditation - From Beginning to End," on Tuesday, December 6, 2016, at 2:00 PM Eastern time. This session has been created for programs just beginning the CAAHEP accreditation process, those new to accreditation, and/or those wishing to know more about CAAHEP and how the process works. The hour-long webinar is being presented by Kathryn Kuntz, a member of the CAAHEP Board, and Kathleen Megivern, CAAHEP's Executive Director, free of charge. The session will be recorded and available on the CAAHEP website for those unable to attend.
This webinar will take you through the steps of the CAAHEP Accreditation process - from beginning to end. After participating in the session, the goal is for you to know where to find your profession's
Standard and Guidelines and how they are used in the accreditation process, understand how to initiate accreditation services, have a grasp of the intermediate steps of the comprehensive review process, learn the difference between initial and continuing accreditation and what is required once you become accredited by CAAHEP.
