Practitioner (Guest) Surveyor Role

The practitioner surveyor is invited by the individual on staff in the Accreditation Services Division (ASD) who does the scheduling for surveys. The practitioner surveyor is usually someone who is serving or has served on the COC, has completed a practitioner surveyor workshop, or has been a program director for a residency program for an extended period of time. The practitioner surveyor for post graduate year two (PGY2) residency program surveys generally fulfills the criteria listed for PGY1 reviewers but are specific to the type of program that they lead. Practitioner surveyors must be familiar with the standards and regulations and are often called upon to conduct sessions independently in multiprogram or multisite reviews.

Each surveyor makes their own travel arrangements. ASHP will be responsible financially for surveyor's airfare, ground transportation, lodging and food expenses during the time on survey. You will generally pay for team meals on your charge card. Per diem rate for food is $75 per day. Mileage, if a car is used, is 0.555 cents per mile and is adjusted as customary rates change by the ASHP Finance Division. ASHP will not pay for movies, phone or internet use. You will be provided with a travel expense form to complete and must provide receipts for expenses.
