State approved for specialty schools

I very recently came to work for a company sells, installs, and services diagnostic nuclear imaging equipment for cardiologists.

One of the other main business units of the company is a state-approved, medical specialty board certified school to teach the didactic portion (200 hours) of the 700 hours of post-residency fellowship required for cardiologists to become nuclear cardiology certified.

Having seen a bit from the inside and to be actually attending a session of the school over the next 9 days, I must admit that my bias against state-approved schools has very much subsided, as I now realize the value of such in very niche subjects.

Just an observation on my part that I thought I'd share.

Take care!

I think there are some schools of the type you mentioned that
have vocational value.

I call this vocational accreditation

Medical specialty board certified school

How did they become board certified school?
is this a procedure simular to accreditation in a way?

 

Medical certification

From the way I understand it, the same professional organizations that certify medical specialties (e.g., a doctor that is a "Board Certified Trauma Surgeon", etc.), also certify specialty residency programs, didactic training, etc. So, my employer has a "board certified" training program for the 200 hour didactic requirement (of the 700 hour total) for cardiologists to become licensed to prescribe radiopharmaceuticals for imaging procedures.
