About LCME
Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accreditation is a process that occurs every eight years. EVMS received its last letter of full accreditation in 2012. If the LCME has concerns about a school’s ability to meet accreditation requirements, they may offer provisional accreditation and return prior to the eight-year cycle.
Accreditation components
Data Collection Instrument
Includes the medical school’s response to questions for each accreditation element. It's organized into 12 standards and 93 elements.
Institutional Self-Study Report
The medical school’s own analysis of its performance in each of the accreditation elements.
Independent Student Analysis
Contains the results and analysis of a student-developed questionnaire of LCME-required questions.
AAMC Medical School Graduate Questionnaire
Survey completed by fourth-year medical students that contains both the medical school’s results and national comparison data.
