Tuesday, March 24, 2015: 1:45 PM-3:15 PM
Potomac 2 (Hyatt Regency Crystal City)
Description: The session will include a presentation from CEPH about the philosophy and rationale for the current criteria, as well as common challenges faced by schools and programs. We will also discuss some general concepts being considered as part of the ongoing criteria revision process. The school and program representatives have recently gone through accreditation reviews and were found to be compliant on this standard. They will share how they established measurable objectives, how they identified priority populations and how they have made diversity an integral part of the school or program’s activities in a variety of contexts. They will also discuss some of the challenges they faced and how they worked to resolve them. There will be time for questions at the end of the session.
