Do other allied health professions currently require national certification based upon graduation from an accredited program?
Yes. Most allied health programs have a registration or certification process that is national in scope and typically sponsored by an independent organization. The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) is the largest programmatic accreditor in the allied health sciences field. In collaboration with the Committees on Accreditation, CAAHEP reviews and accredits over 2000 educational programs in twenty (20) allied health science occupations.
