We are a federally incorporated Not-for-Profit organization that accredits health professional education programs in Canada.
We accredit programs, not institutions or individuals.

Governance Structure
PEAC’s volunteer Board of Directors governs the organization and administers two accreditation programs, one for physiotherapy (PT) education programs and one for occupational therapist assistant and physiotherapist assistant (OTA & PTA) education programs.
Strategic Plan
PEAC’s Strategic Plan was approved in 2020 and will be operationalized between 2021 and 2024. Given the diversity of the populations served by the profession it is crucial that equity, diversity, and inclusion be at the forefront of our minds. Together we are working to make PEAC a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization which flourishes on the exchange of ideas from different perspectives, cultural backgrounds and systems of knowing.
