2016 UME Accreditation CUMMING SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

What is Accreditation?  Accreditation is a peer-review process designed to attest to the educational quality of new and established educational programs.  It ensures that medical schools are compliant with established standards.  Accreditation is intended to be a continuous quality improvement process, rather than just periodic visits to assess compliance. CUMMING SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Accrediting Bodies  CACMS - Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (under AFMC)  LCME – Liaison Committee on Medical Education (jointly sponsored by the AAMC and AMA)  Canadian medical education programs receive both CACMS and LCME accreditation under the same review process.
