Behind Enemy Lines: Understanding Program Accreditation w/ Anthony Stanowski
An accreditation visit can feel like an enemy encroaching on campus. Already suffering from accreditation fatigue, faculty and administrators just want to get that team off-campus as painlessly as possible.
But program accreditors offer institutions a chance to grow through a quality improvement process.
In this episode, I interview Anthony Stanowski, President and CEO of Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management, about how schools can benefit from accreditation processes.
Join us as we discuss:
- Reasons accreditors aren’t the enemy
- Why premier programs should seek program accreditation
- How to eliminate accreditation fatigue
- Following your sherpas
