All systems who have not yet had their 2019-2020 onsite visit are expected to have their visit no later October 31, 2020. This visit can be virtual.
Systems scheduled for accreditation in 2019-2020 and who have not yet had their year five visit need to have this visit by early September. The OVT Annual Report – Year Five is to be completed by September 30, 2020. These systems are scheduled to be reviewed by the Accreditation Review Council (ARC) the first full week of October.
Training is required of all OVT members, including those who wish to serve as a Chair. To be a Chair, you must first attend OVT Member training and then attend OVT Chair training (See the "OVT Chair" section below.).
