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.
