National Accreditation
Southeastern Medical Academy is Institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Our programs of accreditation include Emergency Medical Technician-Basic and Paramedic. For questions on the accrediting agency you may visit their site at www.abhes.org or contact our office.
CAAHEP
The Letter of Review is not a CAAHEP accreditation status, it is a status granted by the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP) signifying that a program seeking initial accreditation from CAAHEP has demonstrated sufficient compliance with the CAAHEP Standards through the Letter of Review Self Study Report (LSSR) and other documentation. Letter of Review is recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for eligibility to take the NREMT's Paramedic credentialing examination(s). However, it is NOT a guarantee of eventual accreditation by CAAHEP.
