Next Survey Visit
The college will undergo a virtual limited survey visit from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) on January 22–24, 2024.
The date for the next full LCME accreditation survey will be determined in 2024.
Preparation
The preparation for a full accreditation survey begins 2 years in advance of the survey date, starting with the population of the Data Collection Instrument (DCI). Using the DCI, the institutional self-study commences to review internal policies, processes, and infrastruction to determine our degree of compliance. From the self-study process, continuous quality improvement (CQI) projects will be developed to address any gaps in compliance that were identified. At the culmination of the self-study, the DCI will be updated to reflect the CQI project progress or completion, and an institutional self-study summary report (ISSSR) will be drafted to document the process and current status of compliance. The DCI and the ISSSR will be submitted to the LCME 3 months prior to their visit.
Survey Visit Team
A team of 5 members from peer medical schools is selected to review our college. The team is led by a chair, who is typically a current or recent medical school dean, LCME Co-Secretary, or LCME member. There is also a team secretary, who is the school's liaison, and the rest are members drawn from a pool of experienced educators, practitioners, and administrators.
