Medical assisting program re-accredited
Ivy Tech Community College — Columbus’ medical assisting program has been re-accredited for 10 years by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Programs.
This includes the associate of applied science and the technical certificate programs in the medical assisting discipline at the college.
Re-accreditation involves a multiple-day site visit by a panel of the Medical Assisting Education Review Board which examines data for the programs, meets with students, faculty, staff and advisory board members and then makes a recommendation.
Preparation for re-accreditation involves a year-long process including a self-study, identifying and providing statistics for each specific area to be taught and assembling data for the review.
