I am writing to communicate strong opposite to the CACREP-only proposal.  Many highly regarded institutions are not CACREP accredited, and yet they produce competent, highly-trained clinicians.  CACREP and it's affiliates have made unsubstantiated claims that providers who graduated from CACREP universities are more competent. It is important for those voting to understand CACREP and their affiliate's motives for encouraging this change and for disseminating inaccurate and misleading information about the benefits and necessity of graduating from a CACREP school.
