AASM Temporary COVID-19 Considerations End July 1, 2022
Two years ago, the AASM implemented Temporary COVID-19 Policies for AASM-accredited sleep programs that had difficulty meeting certain application requirements or accreditation timelines. During this time, the AASM provided support/assistance to many AASM-accredited programs.
Effective July 1, 2022, the AASM will end the Temporary COVID-19 Policies and will revert to standard Accreditation Process and Policies. At that time, all accredited programs must adhere to all Standards for Accreditation and Accreditation Process and Policies.
Please contact the Accreditation Department at accreditation@aasm.org with any questions.
