The Council provides opportunity for individuals or organizations to submit written comments concerning a provider’s qualifications for provisional or continued approval/accreditation. The Council publishes notices in APMA News and on its website regarding its plans to conduct either a focused evaluation or a comprehensive evaluation of an institution that seeks provisional accreditation or continuation of accreditation. The notice indicates the deadline for receipt of third-party comments.
