This approval allowed CUSM to recruit and advertise for students; solicit applicant information; initiate a process for reviewing admissions applications; issue admission letters; and teach medical students.

 

Provisional Accreditation

Full Accreditation

A survey visit for full accreditation typically occurs around 1.5 years after provisional accreditation. The LCME will determine if the program complies with or has made sufficient progress toward compliance with accreditation standards and grants full accreditation at that time.
