maintain their status as a CoAEMSP/CAAHEP site visitor. The webinars will be
provided online at a later date.

Who is the Accreditor?
 The common misunderstanding in the EMS community is that CoAEMSP accredits Paramedic programs; however, CAAHEP is the accreditor and CoAEMSP works under the auspices of CAAHEP. Standard V.A.2. states, "At least the following must be made known to all applicants and students: the sponsor's institutional and programmatic accreditation status as well as the name, address and phone number of the accrediting agencies,..."Too many times programs advertise their CoAEMSP accreditation status and fail to mention CAAHEP. To help programs with the proper language, CAAHEP has a policy that provides the language. According to CAAHEP Policy 302 (as modified for CoAEMSP), in at least one of its comprehensive publications customarily used to officially convey institutional information, the Program must state: The [name of program] is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).
