Joint Accreditation IPCE

The Alaska Center for Rural Health & Health Workforce (ACRH–HW) is thrilled to announce a major milestone: we can now offer in-house accredited continuing education for Alaska’s healthcare professionals. This achievement strengthens our mission to support, develop, and grow Alaska’s health workforce through high-quality learning opportunities.

Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing EducationJoint Accreditation IPCE

ACRH–HW is a jointly accredited provider, allowing us to administer continuing education for multiple health professions through a single, unified process. Our accreditation supports both single-profession and interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) credits for:

  • Dietitians

  • Physicians
  • Psychologists
  • Social Workers

This approach reflects the real-world collaboration of healthcare teams and ensures our educational programs meet rigorous professional standards.
