The Thread

Multi-state alternative certification programs face fragmented evaluator pools, varying state requirements, and visibility gaps. A role-based workflow solves coordination without adding admin overhead.

University-based alternative certification programs need structured clinical hours tracking that holds up to CAEP accreditation review. This post covers the full workflow from candidate logging to accreditation evidence.

Alternative certification programs are scaling fast, but spreadsheet tracking isn’t. Five failure points that create compliance risk.

Manual clinical hours tracking won’t survive a CAEP site visit. This post breaks down the three gaps spreadsheets can’t close — verification, real-time visibility, and audit-ready reporting — and what to use instead.

IHE-based alternative certification programs make up 69% of alt pathways but run on spreadsheets and workarounds. The tech gap is structural.
