Improving and assuring the quality of professional educational services is the only last option left for forward-looking educational service enterprises or colleges or universities for surviving with pride and creating delight in customer students. For relatively younger economies like India and other Asian African countries, quality assurance has become almost mandatory from both the point of views: business growth and complying with the requirements of regulatory agencies. Many Asian countries have become provisional signatory members of Washington Accord for facilitating global mobility of graduates from universities of one country to another country for further education and/or seeking employment opportunities. Recently, regulatory agencies of many developing countries have adopted outcome-based professional education model for formulating criteria and evaluation procedures for quality assurance and accreditation certification. The author, while doing consultancy work in India, has felt that faculty, in general, are not very much aware of the requirements of outcome-based education model and, therefore, face difficulties in preparing self-assessment reports and supporting evidence record files. It is hoped that this book shall be of adequate help to faculty and management of professional education institutions and universities in understanding the requirements of accreditation and in making necessary preparations of application and documentation.

The United States is rapidly transforming into one of the most racially and ethnically diverse nations in the world. Groups commonly referred to as minorities-including Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, and Alaska Natives-are the fastest growing segments of the population and emerging as the nation's majority. Despite the rapid growth of racial and ethnic minority groups, their representation among the nation's health professionals has grown only modestly in the past 25 years. This alarming disparity has prompted the recent creation of initiatives to increase diversity in health professions. In the Nation's Compelling Interest considers the benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity, and identifies institutional and policy-level mechanisms to garner broad support among health professions leaders, community members, and other key stakeholders to implement these strategies. Assessing the potential benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity among health professionals will improve the access to and quality of healthcare for all Americans.
