Why Taking An Accredited Health Program Is Important

By Maria Taylor


Are you a health practitioner or are aspiring to be one? Then, your main concern should be the courses you will take and whether they are accredited. Accreditation gives an institution, university or college the mandate to offer a course. Through accreditation, you can advance your professional stature. An accredited health program has thus been approved by regional bodies, national regulators and even the community.

The process of accreditation is regarded as evaluation or assessment by an independent body. It involves assessing the merits and weaknesses of a course. Through the process of accreditation, you can ascertain that necessary standards for trainers, the environment and content have been met. As such, the course or institution has fulfilled the requirements of the checks and balances put in place.

The institutions offering accreditation have a responsibility of ensuring that certain standards are met. They are neutral bodies whose panelists should not have any conflict of interest. By evaluating the depths and breaths of a course, the professors offering instructions, the environment or institution, etc, they can determine whether required standards have been met. These are peers who understand the industry and are thus well positioned to evaluate its structures and courses.

The process can be considered as a rubber stamp in the sense that it depends on the opinion of reviewing team on the performance indicators given by the regulator. The agencies are private and have no relationship with the government apart from the fact that they are recognized. The school takes voluntary accreditation to gain insight into the quality of their programs. They will have advice and suggestions on areas that they can improve.

By pursuing the accreditation path, an institution aims at shoving its confidence and showing the public that its work is legitimate. For students, it is beneficial to complete a recognized course. Any individual who wishes to fund your education or even an institution will first consider whether your course is accredited. The government does not fund a course unless it has received necessary accreditation.

There are instances when you need credit transfers. It is easier if the two institutions involved have received accreditation. It shows that they are offering formal courses. As such, transferring scores from one institution to another will be seamless. You will not have to abandon your course because you have transferred to another county or state. This will save you a lot of money and resources.

Practice licenses are only issued to persons who have taken courses with necessary accreditation. It is especially important with professions like nursing, massage, physiotherapy, etc that touch on the lives of people directly. You will find it nearly impossible to get clients without necessary licenses, which are only issued for courses with accreditation.

The job market has high regard for professionals with accreditation. Many people seeking health services want proof that you are trained and will handle their bodies well. In the absence of accreditation and consequently a license, it will be difficult to get clients. The process shows that you are serious about the profession you will be engaged. The Department of Education and health regulatory authorities have lists of courses and institutions that are accredited.
