NIFA

entered a formal partnership entered with the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) to jointly present the CAAHEP accredited SA250 program. The collaboration is to be called the ‘Surgical Assistant Consortium.’ According to CAAHEP, a Consortium is an entity consisting of two or more members that exists for the purpose of operating an educational program.
Even though the SA250 program remains CAAHEP accredited, the Consortium of NIFA and CSN have elected to implement a moratorium on all enrollments in SA250 while it goes through the CAAHEP application process.
