LCME (Liaison Committee on Medical Education)

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) is a recognized organization that sets and maintains standards for medical schools in the United States and Canada. It evaluates whether medical schools provide quality education, proper facilities, and effective training to ensure future doctors are well-prepared. Accreditation by the LCME indicates that a medical school meets these rigorous standards, promoting consistent, high-quality medical education across institutions. This process benefits students, healthcare systems, and the public by ensuring that graduating physicians are competent and capable.
