ABHES accredits which of the following?

ABHES focuses on health education at the postsecondary level. It evaluates and accredits higher education institutions and the allied health programs they offer, such as medical assisting or dental assisting, within colleges, vocational schools, and similar postsecondary settings. This means the accreditation applies to institutions that provide education after high school, not to K–12 schools or to clinical facilities that aren’t educational institutions. For nursing programs, those are typically overseen by nursing-specific accrediting bodies, so ABHES is not the usual accreditor for that field.
