Institutional Policies

Center for Allied Health Education is institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), a national accrediting body for schools specializing in allied health programs that is recognized by the US Department of Education.

Check each program page for additional information about programmatic accreditation.

CAHE assists students in preparing for entry into their chosen career through formal and informal means, including resume writing, interview skills, presentations, and discussions about expected behavior and attitudes of healthcare professionals.

CAHE provides assistance at the time of graduation to obtain entry-level positions in their respective fields. While placement assistance may be provided, CAHE cannot promise or guarantee employment to any student or graduate.

General information about the careers represented by CAHE's educational programs can be obtained from the Occupational Outlook Handbook of the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Each year, CAHE reports campus crime statistics to the US Department of Education as required by the Clery Act.

CAHE has zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol on campus. All enrolling students must agree that they will be subject to random drug screenings during their enrollment.

All students must have a drug screening conducted by a physician prior to the first day of clinical rotations. If a student refuses to conduct a drug screening or submits an unacceptable urine sample, or the screening comes back positive, enrollment will be rescinded.

Once enrolled, students may be given a drug screening at any time, including:

• Random drug screening tests by CAHE and/or any of its clinical affiliates
• During the clinical clearance process at a specific clinical affiliate
• As part of the annual physical for students enrolled in programs longer than one year, prior to beginning their senior year

CAHE requires immunization for certain infectious diseases. The full immunization policy is available as a PDF.

CAHE will make every reasonable effort to accommodate students who disclose physical and intellectual disabilities upon enrollment. Each program has specific Technical Standards that must be met.

All students must agree to allow CAHE to conduct a criminal background investigation prior to commencing the clinical phase of their education. Criminal background checks may be performed at any time during enrollment.
