CAAHEP Eliminates the Status of 'Initial Accreditation' The CAAHEP Board of Directors approved the removal of the initial expire policy at its November meeting. The updated CAAHEP Policy Manual can be found here. The CoAEMSP will be reviewing and updating its policy manual to reflect the change in Initial Accreditation. In addition to changes in the CAAHEP Policy Manual, statements of initial expire were also removed from the CAAHEP Standards for each of the professions. What does this mean for programs holding Initial Accreditation? This simply means the Initial Accreditation is the first status of accreditation granted to a program that has demonstrated substantial compliance with CAAHEP Standards. Initial accreditation remains in place until another action is taken by the CAAHEP Board. Programs with Initial Accreditation will proceed with the same timeline of events toward First Continuing Accreditation. Download the updated CAAHEP Standards here.
