Program of Merit

The 2024 POMS Interest Application is now closed! Deadline to complete interest application was July 1st. Click here for more information and full criteria.

In the association’s early stages, a decision was made to form a Program Review Committee that would develop and implement a review process that would lead to a Program of Merit (POM) status awarded by the association. The intent was to create a status that would benefit doctoral programs in health sciences. This POM status provides:

  1. A mechanism by which key stakeholders, including students and administrators, can verify that the program is consistent with nationally vetted standards for doctoral programs in health sciences;

  2. Assurance to the public and employers about the quality of the programs and their graduates;

  3. A way for potential students to evaluate available programs and make a fully informed decision on the choice of doctoral program;

  4. Improved marketability and enhanced recruitment of prospective students for programs; and,

  5. Justification for additional resources for programs.
