Accreditation

Accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the national accrediting authority for educational programs leading to the MD degree in the U.S. and Canada, is crucial for medical schools and universities. Achieving LCME accreditation confirms that medical education programs meet established standards. The accreditation process serves two main purposes: to encourage institutional self-assessment and enhancement, and to verify that a medical education program complies with set standards.
