Conditional
Demonstrate deficiencies fixed
Interim Report due August 22, 2017
As you’re all aware (hopefully!), our programs were re-accredited/accredited for the next seven years – until December 2023! Our accreditation, however, is conditional: We MUST demonstrate that we have fixed the deficiencies noted in order to maintain accreditation. We have an interim report that is due in late August of this year. Please see the interim report work plan document hyperlinked in the agenda for details on the areas of deficiency and how we can address them. We will be talking about this more during our January workdays. Your input and ideas are encouraged!

3. 2016 CEPH Criteria Must demonstrate compliance by Jan 9, 2018 on:
MPH Curriculum
Foundational Public Health Knowledge
Foundational Competencies
Applied Practice Experiences
Integrative Learning Experience
BSPH Curriculum
Foundational Domains
Cross-cutting Concepts & Experiences
Cumulative & Experiential Activities
Three years data for 2023 self-study on all new criteria
The new criteria for CEPH rolled out a few weeks ago also. I strongly encourage everyone to read through the new criteria, especially the parts in the “D” section, which deals with curricular issues. We must demonstrate compliance with these new criteria by January 9, From this point forward, we will begin working on this process. The immediate workload is going to fall primarily on those of us who teach the core MPH courses and non-concentration required BSPH courses though curricular alignments. The good news is that there are fewer competencies…

Compliance Report: Curricula
This slide illustrates the three major tasks facing us and the timeline in which they must be completed. Our interim report does not require us to adopt the new criteria; however, there are several places where what we must do for the interim report could incorporate changes we will have to make either for the compliance report or before the next self-study’s required data reporting timeframe begins (in AY 19/20). Thus, to be efficient, I recommend we tackle the overlapping issues concurrently whenever possible.
