LCME Accreditation and UME policies

LCME accreditation

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) is an accrediting authority for medical education programs in the United States and Canada. LCME is jointly sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Medical Association.  LCME accreditation is a voluntary, peer-reviewed process of quality assurance.  

Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine Undergraduate Medical Education remains fully accredited by LCME and meets the licensure requirements in all 50 states. The next full LCME survey and site visit will be in the 2027-2028 academic year.
