SMD Educational Objectives
The Self-Study Task Force will define priority areas and implement changes before we submit our institutional self-study summary report to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) in June 2023. LCME conducts a peer-review process every eight years in which a survey team makes a recommendation on the medical school's performance. The LCME reviews the team's report and makes final decisions about performance and accreditation.
