Technical College of the Rockies earns CAAHEP Accreditation, Demonstrating Health Professions Education.
Delta, CO —November 21, 2025 — The Technical College of The Rockies is proud to
announce that its Diagnostic Medical Sonography education program has been
awarded accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health
Education Programs (CAAHEP). This prestigious accreditation underscores The
Technical College of The Rockies' commitment to providing high-quality education
and training that meets the national quality assurance standards established by
CAAHEP.
CAAHEP Accreditation Benefits Students, Employers, and the Public.
CAAHEP accreditation offers significant advantages for students, graduates, and
employers alike. For students, it ensures a high-quality educational experience
that equips them with the knowledge, skills, and professional competencies
essential for success in their chosen health profession. Graduates of
CAAHEP-accredited programs are highly sought after by employers, opening doors
to enhanced job opportunities and career growth. Additionally, many professional
certification bodies require graduation from a CAAHEP-accredited program to be
eligible to sit for certification exams—an essential step toward licensure and
professional practice.
Employers can trust that graduates from CAAHEP-accredited programs are
well-prepared to meet the ever-evolving demands of the healthcare field. These
graduates bring a strong foundation of knowledge and practical experience,
enabling them to deliver high-quality care and contribute meaningfully to their
communities.
Dr. Barry S. Eckert, President of CAAHEP, emphasizes the importance of
accreditation: “Choosing a CAAHEP-accredited program is crucial for students
seeking a career in allied health. It ensures that they receive an education
that is both comprehensive and relevant to current industry needs, ultimately
benefiting their future employers and the people receiving care.”
