Site Visitor Retraining Program

  The goals of this web-based retraining program are to:

• Review the changes to CoARC policies, procedures, and documentation involving the site visit process;
• Promote dialogue about the interpretation of the new CoARC accreditation standards;
• Ensure consistency in the application of accreditation standards and, thus, reliability in the review process;
• Promote collegial relationships among individuals who take interest in enhancing the quality of respiratory care education; and
• Communicate to site visitors on how to participate appropriately and effectively as representatives of CoARC.

The retraining program consists of three (3) webinars.  Each 90-minute webinar includes a live presentation and time for Q&A. All you need is an Internet connection and a telephone or VOIP connection. You will have access to all the webinar audio, slides, and handouts from the webinar to use at any time. Successful completion of the retraining program requires reviewing all web-based sessions (either during the live session or the recording).  
Site Visitors must complete all three web sessions in order to be able to participate in future site visits.
