Standard 30. Publications and Disclosures. The program does not clearly identify that UW-Stevens Point is accredited by CAHIIM and that UW-Green Bay and UW-Parkside are also accredited by CAHIIM, but UW-La Crosse is not accredited by CAHIIM. The university’s main website page that provides marketing to HIMT students, and potential students, does not accurately identify the accreditation status for each individual program.
