In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) elected to use virtual site visits to continue accreditation activities in a way that would protect and promote health and well-being. From implementation to October 23, 2021, 72 virtual site visits have occurred, and 101 site visits will have occurred by the end of 2021! With the success of these virtual site visits, the CoA will be continuing with virtual site visits for the beginning of 2022.
As a reminder, all programs that receive a virtual site visit that leads to an award or reaffirmation of accreditation must have an in-person verification visit when safe. More information regarding the details of this visit can be found on the website.
More information about the qualifications to be a site visitor can be found on our website. If you are interested in serving as a site visitor, please contact the OPCA. OPCA staff will be happy to assist you.
