CAAHEP Seeks Recent Graduate to Serve as a Commissioner and on Board
of Directors

The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) is seeking a recent graduate of a CAAHEP accredited program to serve as a CAAHEP Commissioner and on its Board of Directors. 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.

With the increase in Paramedic programs, there is an increase in workload. Currently there are nearly 700 programs seeking or maintaining accreditation. On a monthly basis, we average 2-5 new programs entering the accreditation system.

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.
