The process of accreditation provides quality assurance in education to determine whether a program meets established standards for function, structure, and performance.
The accreditation process also fosters institutional and program improvement.
Specifically for medical school, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) helps meet the requirement of most state boards of licensure that U.S. medical schools be accredited by as a condition for licensure of their graduates. Florida is a state which requires accreditation.
The UMMSM is preparing for its next visit in February 2009. Preparations are ongoing to assemble information about various aspects of the medical program. This information will be collected in the upcoming year known as the "self-study" year, and used to create a database.
The database is then reviewed by the accreditation team member and forms the basis for their visit at both the Main and Regional Campuses.
The accreditation team will be composed of 5 members, selected from individuals who hold various positions in medical education leadership in the 126 US and 17 Canadian medical schools.
At UMMSM, 11 self-study committees are established to assemble the database.Once the work is completed, the committees will disband. They are:
Steering Committee
Administration and Governance
Undergraduate Medical Education
Student Affairs
Facilities and Library
Faculty and Professional Affairs
Graduate Student Education and Research
Graduate Medical and Continuing Medical Education
Women and Minority Affairs
Student Self-Study

At this time, the database and self-study document have been completed. A meeting of the College of Biomedical Science faculty, chaired by Dr. Friedland, was convened on March 14th to assemble any final commentaries from faculty who had been given time to review the various documents. The documents will now be reviewed by the relevant UMMSM Committees.
