At the SNACC Annual Meeting in Denver this September, members of the ICPNT Executive Council and program reviewers met to review the applications from new and existing programs. This is a meeting which occurs twice a year. This year, the meeting was held at the University of Colorado, and we would like to thank Dr. Claudia Clavijo and her department for arranging the facilities on campus. Each program is reviewed by three ICPNT members and formative feedback is given to the program director. A final application is then presented at the review meeting and the group determines the accreditation status and term of the accreditation. Each program is offered feedback. Dr. Tumul Chowdhury and Dr. Maya Mikami chair the committees that steer this process.
We are pleased to announce the addition of two new programs and the reaccreditation of 7 existing programs:
New programs:
- University of Miami, USA – Dr. Arman Dagal, Program Director
- Westmead Health Precinct, Sidney, Australia- Dr. Jessie Ly, Program Director
Reaccredited programs:
- Cleveland Clinic, USA – Dr. Shobana Rajan, Program Director
- Columbia University, USA – Dr. Maya Mikami, Program Director
- Northwestern University, USA – Dr. Jamie Uejima, Program Director
- Technical University Munich, Germany – Dr. Stephanie Pilge, Program Director
- UCLH NHS Foundation Trust, England – Dr. Val Luoma, Program Director
- University of Washington, USA – Dr. Angele Theard, Program Director
