This virtual education program provides participants with a foundational understanding of accreditation and regulatory compliance and how to build a sustainable readiness strategy within their organization. The journey begins with an on-demand Welcome Webinar, which introduces core concepts and sets the stage for developing your own continuous accreditation compliance program. To ensure a strong start, the welcome webinar, along with accompanying readings and exercises, should be completed before the first live session.
Following this preparation, the program continues with four days of live virtual instruction, featuring two sessions per day. These interactive sessions explore critical topics and focus areas essential to accreditation professionals, offering practical insights and real-world application.
The experience culminates in a final webinar dedicated to participant project presentations, where you’ll present your individual project. This final step allows you to showcase your learning, receive feedback, and leave with a concrete plan tailored to your organization’s needs.
