Year-round preparation
Develop processes to create and collect appropriate evidence throughout the year, building a stronger foundation for the next formal review.
Accreditation and Reaccreditation
Move from accreditation pressure to readiness.
Whether you’re preparing for an initial accreditation or approaching a reaccreditation cycle, Strelis’ accreditation consulting turns application for candidacy, self-study, evidence-gathering, site visits, and ongoing compliance into a clearer process that takes the pressure off your team.
The 5 pillars of accreditation readiness.
Comprehensive self-study
A thorough self-study brings evidence together to show where your program meets accreditation standards and where attention is needed.
Timely gap identification
Proactively surfacing accreditation gaps is key to leaving enough time to address them before official review.
Balancing faculty priorities
Strategic accreditation planning distributes preparation across the cycle, protecting faculty capacity for core program responsibilities.
Evidence alignment
Identify and organize the right evidence to demonstrate how your program meets each accreditation standard.
Know where you stand long before your accreditation review.
Drawing on firsthand experience, Strelis™ former deans, program directors, and accreditation reviewers guide standards mapping, gap analysis, self-study support, and mock site visits so you can walk into your review confident and prepared.
Spread readiness work across the accreditation cycle.
Readiness doesn’t end when the review does. Strelis’ ongoing accreditation guidance supports PT, OT, PA, and nursing programs across accrediting bodies including CAPTE, ACOTE, and ARC-PA, while reducing faculty strain through consistent reporting, ongoing assessment, and documentation between cycles to keep programs ready for reaccreditation.
Choose the engagement model that works for you.
Institutions can select fixed-fee project engagements for defined initiatives or ongoing retainer partnerships for year-round strategic support. Both provide predictable investment, giving institutions the flexibility to choose the level and duration of support that fits their priorities.
Get supported by the team that matches your needs.
Strelis brings together experts from across its broad consulting network to build advisory teams tailored to your specific institutional needs, ensuring you receive relevant perspectives and direct domain expertise throughout your initial accreditation or reaccreditation journey.
