LCME self-study
The next accreditation visit by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) for the School of Medicine has been set for October 2009. In an effort to keep faculty, staff and students up-to-date on preparation for the site visit and findings in the self-study, we will post regular updates in the newsletter and on this website.
The LCME is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as the reliable authority for accreditation of programs leading to the M.D. degree. Recognition by the Secretary confers eligibility for institutional and student participation in certain federal loan programs. LCME accreditation establishes access to licensure examinations, eligibility for entry into graduate medical education programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and –for graduates of U.S. schools-eligibility for state medical licensure.*
The accreditation process adopted by the LCME has two general aims: to certify that a medical education program meets prescribed standards, and to promote institutional self-evaluation and improvement. The institutional self-study is central to the accreditation process. In the self-study, a medical school brings together representatives of the administration, faculty, student body, and other constituencies to (1) collect and review data about the medical school and its educational programs, (2) identify institutional strengths and issues requiring action, and (3) define strategies to ensure that the strengths are maintained and any problems are addressed.**
The self-study report is due to the LCME site visit team in July 2009.*** Dr. Jennifer Kimmel, Associate Dean for Medical Education is the self-study coordinator.
UNSOM maintained full accreditation during our last site visit in 2001.
