Caahep Accredited Ultrasound Schools

CAAHEP is an acronym that stands for the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. To get CAAHEP accreditation an ultrasound program must meet national standards in teaching and subject matter. Although schools seeking accreditation under CAAHEP maintain a lot of autonomy, a site visit by a member of CAAHEP is required to determine that minimum standards are met. The most common program name for the study of ultrasound is diagnostic medical sonography, and several schools offer CAAHEP-accredited programs.
