The Importance of LCME Accreditation

Is the MD program at the University of Maryland accredited?

The MD program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine is accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).

Why is accreditation important?

LCME accreditation is a voluntary, peer-reviewed process of quality assurance that determines whether the medical education program meets established standards. This process also fosters institutional and programmatic improvement. Medical education programs are required to demonstrate that graduates exhibit general professional competencies that are appropriate for entry to the next stage of their training and that serve as the foundation for lifelong learning and proficient medical care.
