At the heart of the CAAHEP accreditation system are our nationally-recognized Standards and Guidelines. CAAHEP Standards have common elements with discipline-specific requirements for training entry level practitioners in that profession. The Standards review process is rigorous, including input from the communities of interest, a public open hearing, and approval by the Committee on Accreditation (CoA) and its sponsoring organization(s). The CAAHEP Board of Directors is responsible for the final approval of accreditation Standards, which are reviewed at least every ten years.
The Standards review and revision process requires that proposed Standards be posted on the CAAHEP website at least 30 days prior to the date of the open hearing. Please check the Public Notifications page for current notices of open hearings. If you would like to comment on proposed standards for any of the CAAHEP professions, please email mail@caahep.org.
