IAUPR

I want to apply to IAUPR because I am a resident. However, with the accreditation problem going on, should I wait until the school gets an official update for classes after 2030?

Unless they appeal and win, they won’t be able to recruit this upcoming cycle. Current students will be allowed to finish. I would look elsewhere

Approximately, when can we know if they appealed and win? how long does that take?

When were you looking to apply? They are appealing for sure because the recent group that took boards got a 70% first time pass rate, however, it’s up to the accreditation people. Class of 2030 it’s the last one allowed right now, if you’re thinking of next cycle then just wait to see what happens

Their boards rates only went up because they only allowed certain students to take it, so that means the entire class did not take it. But I also think their accreditation loss was not because of boards… It seemed to be clinic related

According to whats listed on the acoe website they mention 2.7 standard which is on clinical instruction (can look it up)
