Accreditation & Compliance Message from the Associate Dean Accreditation & Compliance Home Education Medical Education Office of Medical Education Accreditation & Compliance 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. Message from the Associate Dean LCME Accreditation & Timeline UCI School of Medicine offers one of the top medical education programs in the United States. The institution was first accredited in 1961 and received its most recent full eight-year reaccreditation in 2017 by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the national accrediting organization for U.S. and Canadian medical education programs. LCME accreditation is a peer-reviewed study conducted to determine whether a medical education program meets established standards. This quality assurance process is an opportunity for self-study and reflection that can foster improvements to our programs and institution.
