CAHME and AACSB Joint Site Visits

CAHME is proud to work with our colleagues at AACSB because we share a common commitment to ensuring future leaders in business and in healthcare have the skills and competencies needed to meet challenges today and in the future. Just as AACSB accreditation is the gold standard for business schools nationally and internationally, CAHME accreditation of healthcare management education programs — whether stand-alone or part of an MBA program — is as well. AACSB and CAHME are globally recognized standards for excellence sought after by both students and employers, and academic institutions who believe in continuous quality improvement.
