| Accredited Programs : Background |
|
CAHME is the only organization recognized
to grant accreditation to individual academic programs offering
a professional master's degree in healthcare management education
in the United States and Canada. CAHME’s recognition by the
Secretary of the US Department of Education does not include candidate
programs, or programs in Canada.
CAHME is dedicated to serving the public good through
promoting, evaluating, and continuously improving the quality of
academic healthcare management education in the United States and
Canada. Through its partnership between academe and the field of
practice, CAHME serves universities and programs in a voluntary
peer review process as a means to continuously improve academic
education. In so doing, CAHME’s designation of “Accredited”
becomes the benchmark by which students and employers determine
the integrity of healthcare management education and the standard
of measurement for the world community.
CAHME is recognized as an independent world leader
for determining quality in healthcare management education. Universities,
programs, practitioners, and international peers will seek the consultation
of CAHME professionals to assess the quality of healthcare management
education. CAHME is respected for its collaborative, efficient,
and reliable contribution to the more effective delivery of healthcare
management education around the world. Through recognition by the
US Department of Education, the Council on Higher Education Accreditation,
the Association of Specialty and Professional Accreditation and
the Canadian College of Health Services Executives, CAHME will serve
as the authority for determining the quality and appropriateness
for accreditation of academic education in healthcare management.
Accreditation of healthcare management education
by CAHME is a commitment to public accountability for quality through
voluntary efforts of the health professions. Students entering CAHME-accredited
programs are assured of appropriate content, high standards of quality,
and membership in a network of professional colleagues that transcends
boundaries of universities and professional associations and colleges.
