Recognition Reviewers
Reviewers play a vital role in helping the Recognition Committee determine whether applicants for recognition meet the ABAI standards. Reviewers' responsibilities include reviewing self-study documentation, collecting data relevant to the standards during a virtual review meeting, and collaborating to submit timely review meeting reports. Reviewers serve an advisory role to the committee; the committee makes determinations and recommendations to the program.
