The FEM demonstration program goal is to create a community of early adopters who will inform training materials and CBE resources. Demonstration programs will gain early access to CBE training and accreditation support and can network with other FEM programs. FEM programs will also support data collection to inform student outcomes under the new HIM Accreditation Standards.

• FEM Demonstration Program 

The new HIM Accreditation Standards are founded on key principles of CBE.  Which include:

• monitoring students’ attainment of the competencies throughout the program.
• introducing innovative and creative ways to engage students in experiential learning and professional practice experience.
• integrating formative and summative assessments.
• aligning competency-based assessments with the Miller Pyramid.
