What Are the Accrediting Bodies for Health Care Schools?
Accreditation agencies are private—not government run. Schools voluntarily put themselves through the process of accreditation in order to gain insight into the quality of their own programs. It is a way of getting advice and suggestions. Think of it as a consultation. Some examples of accreditation agencies for health-care schools are: • Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine • American Academy of Liberal Education and the American College of Nurse-Midwives.
