Institutions with Developing Medical Education Programs
that have Applied for Preliminary Accreditation by the LCME
(Updated February 2, 2011)

A developing medical school in the United States or Canada must complete five steps to become fully accredited by the LCME, as described below. Each step has its own requirements, and a school may not recruit applicants or accept student applications before reaching Step 3. The following tables include a description of each pre-accreditation and accreditation category and a listing of medical schools currently within each category. A developing medical education program in Canada follows the same process with both the LCME and the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS).

Refer to the LCME's Guidelines for New and Developing Medical Schools for a description of the minimum requirements that must be met in order for the LCME and/or CACMS to consider granting provisional accreditation of a new program leading to the M.D. degree. Refer to the LCME's Rules of Procedure for more detailed information about Preliminary Accreditation, Provisional Accreditation, and Full Accreditation.

The LCME and CACMS hold confidential all information collected during the pre-accreditation and accreditation processes. For more information on developing medical schools, please contact the schools directly.

Step 1 - Schools with LCME "Applicant School" Status
NOTE: Applicant Schools are not accredited

A medical school obtains "Applicant School" status when:

A medical school achieves "Preliminary Accreditation" status when:
1. It submits a modified medical educational database and a self-study summary to the LCME; and
2. An LCME team completes a survey visit at the medical school and prepares a report of its findings for consideration by the LCME at its next regularly scheduled meeting; and
3. The LCME reviews the survey team's report and determines that the program leading to the M.D. degree meets the standards outlined in the LCME document, Guidelines for New and Developing Medical Schools; and
4. The LCME votes to grant preliminary accreditation to the program for an entering class in an upcoming academic year.

Once preliminary accreditation is granted, the program may begin to recruit applicants and accept applications for enrollment. If the program does not enroll a charter class within two years of its receipt of preliminary accreditation, it must reapply for preliminary accreditation as a new program and pay a reapplication fee.
