The Commission on Accreditation (CoA) held its fall 2018 program review meeting on Oct. 25-28, 2018, in Washington, DC. The CoA reviewed 110 programs; 101 for initial or continued accreditation, seven for site visit authorization and two for intent to apply status. The commission elected its leadership team for 2019: Dave Smith, PhD, ABPP, will be the CoA chair; Cindy Juntunen, PhD, will be associate chair of program review; and Cami McBride, PhD, will be associate chair of quality assurance. The CoA’s workgroups and policy groups convened to review policy and begin preparing for next year’s policy and program review priorities.
Decisions from the October 2018 meeting are available on the CoA's website. As of October 28, 2018, the Commission accredits 1,180 programs. A summary of accredited programs follows:
