Fostering a Culture of Continuous Improvement
Dedicated to continuous quality improvement, the UCI School of Medicine cultivates academic excellence through collaborative self-assessment and stakeholder involvement.
UCI School of Medicine is accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). The LCME is recognized by the United States Department of Education as the accrediting body for medical education programs leading to the MD degree in the United States. UCI School of Medicine was first accredited by the LCME in 1961 and received its most recent full eight-year reaccreditation in 2017. LCME accreditation is a peer-reviewed process conducted to determine whether a medical education program meets established standards. This quality assurance process is an opportunity for self-study, reflection and continuous program optimization. The school’s next LCME survey visit is scheduled for January 2025.

Preparing for the 2025 Visit
In preparation for our 2025 LCME reaccreditation survey visit, we have launched an inaugural newsletter series to keep you connected to our LCME activities. Learn about the accreditation standards and how we are staying on top of them as an institution.
A broad group of stakeholders are critical to the accreditation process. For a comprehensive review of the medical education program, the LCME Survey Visit will involve all facets of the school.
