CAAHEP recognizes the importance of including all of our communities of interest in the accreditation process, and the Recent Graduate Commissioner that sits on the Board brings a unique perspective to the governance of CAAHEP. Those who serve as Recent Graduate Commissioner also begin to enhance his/her resume and build professional relations with those in allied health education across the country. Read more.

The CoAEMSP Board of Directors 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, 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, programming and support to programs throughout the year. It will provide efficiency in the accreditation processes for programs, site visitors, and board members.
