“…(See Table 2 online at http://links.lww.com/PAEA/A29). 11 There is limited literature regarding pharmacy processes and practices for engaging in accreditation-related activities. Some programs have adopted a structural system and/or framework for accreditation, such as continuous quality improvement (CQI), and use a team-based approach.…”

The accreditation process of health professions educational (HPE) programs is an essential ingredient in preparing a qualified healthcare workforce. Accreditation ensures that minimum standards are met by educational programs and contributes to pedagogical integrity, consistency, and academic policies and practices, leading to the desired quality of graduate outcomes. In this study, we analyzed key characteristics, policies, and practices for accreditation in 5 health professions to highlight emerging trends and discern implications for the physician assistant (PA) profession. There is growing evidence of movement toward outcome-based accreditation versus process-oriented accreditation and collaborative engagements between programs and the accreditors. Agencies are providing online discussion platforms and direct mentorship and, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, offered virtual site visits. At an institution level, we observed a trend towards structured faculty development on accreditation, implementation of technology infrastructure for data collection, visualization and analysis, and the use of consultants for outsourcing certain elements of the accreditation process. There is a wide spectrum of approaches, from prescriptive to liberal, by the various accrediting agencies in enforcing compliance. A balance is desirable for the institutional–accreditor relationship to work effectively.

“…For example, Philips et al described their approach for promoting widespread stakeholder engagement in the ACPE accreditation self-study process. Their suggestions for success included creating a self-study communication plan to promote stakeholder engagement and feedback, and use of a timeline of involvement to ensure regular feedback is solicited [ 11 ]. Evans et al and Timpe et al have both advocated for the implementation of continuous quality improvement to help ensure a successful pharmacy accreditation self-study and to make the self-study process more meaningful and help increase stakeholder involvement and awareness [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Ensuring adequate engagement and preparation of all stakeholders in an accreditation self-study can be challenging for many reasons, including lack of motivation and inadequate understanding of expectations and procedures. The goal of this exploratory study was to determine whether using team-based learning (TBL) pedagogy to deliver an accreditation preparation workshop could effectively prepare and engage participants. A Likert-scale questionnaire was administered to workshop attendees (n = 52) to determine whether they found TBL-based training helpful and whether it promoted engagement. Twenty-four attendees completed the survey (46%). More than 80% of participants strongly agreed or agreed with 12 statements relating to perceptions of self and participant engagement within team activities and the usefulness of team activities. More than 65% of participants strongly agreed or agreed with statements relating to the helpfulness of the TBL approach in preparing for the self-study (five questions). Subgroup analysis showed no significant difference in responses based on whether on not participants had previously been involved in an accreditation self study. Our data indicate that a TBL approach can be an effective way to engage and prepare stakeholders for an accreditation self-study, and that TBL pedagogy has utility outside of the classroom setting.
