CAAHEP Accreditation Statement
The South Carolina EMS Association Academy Paramedic program has applied for a Letter of Review with the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP). This letter will NOT be a CAAHEP accreditation status, it is a status signifying that a program seeking initial accreditation will demonstrate sufficient compliance with the accreditation standards through the Letter of Review Self-Study Report (LSSR) and other documentation. Letter of Review is recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for eligibility to take the National Registry's Paramedic credentialing examination(s). However, it is NOT a guarantee of eventual accreditation. To contact CoAEMSP: 214-703-8445 www.coaemsp.org
