The Problem

Most accreditation consulting is solo work. PA accreditation isn't a solo problem.


The dominant model in our space is the individual consultant — one expert, one engagement, one set of eyes on every document. The Sixth Edition standards demand specialized depth across A standards, B standards, clinical year, assessment, faculty sufficiency, and program development at the same time. No single consultant has equal depth in all of them.

Every program we work with gets a primary and a secondary consultant, paired to your specific situation. A former ARC-PA Commission Chair reviews documents flagged for B-standards compliance. A WSCUC peer evaluator pairs in for institutional and A-standards work. Every Self-Study Report has multiple reviewers before submission. The expertise is the team's, not any one member's.

Our Approach

Longitudinal mentoring — biweekly meetings, every two weeks, for as long as it takes.


We do not deliver a binder and disappear. We work alongside your program team on a biweekly cadence, with monthly assessment reviews in between — every engagement working backward from your site visit or validation date.

The goal is not to write your accreditation documents for you. It is to leave your program with a sustainable assessment process that runs itself after we leave.
