Adverse Action

The ACPEinc defines an adverse action as denial or withdrawal of accreditation. If the ACPEinc Board of Trustees takes an adverse action against a program, a written notice of the action will be forwarded to that program. The notification will provide a detailed explanation of the reasons for taking the adverse action.

Surveys are to be submitted to the Board of Trustees of the ACPEinc by the first week of June each year, beginning with the first calendar year after full accreditation of the institute or program.
