2026 Draft Accreditation Standards

Per CAHME Policies and Procedures, the Standards Council shall initiate a full review of the criteria once every five years, reaffirming or changing them as appropriate or necessary. The primary goal of such a review is to ensure that the criteria for accreditation are consistently current, relevant, and effective to achieve the overall goals of CAHME.

At the May 2025 Board Meeting, the Board approved the “final draft” of the 2026 Accreditation Standards. The 60 day public comment period to fully inform programs about the changes and their implications begins June 1, 2025 and will end August 1, 2025.

Commentary on the standards can be made through the below form.
