The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) has granted provisional accreditation to the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University. LCME accreditation provides assurance that programs awarding the M.D. degree meet the national standards for educational quality.

 

All medical schools must complete five steps to become fully accredited by the LCME. FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine has achieved four of those steps. A site visit will take place in October 2014 and a final decision on full accreditation will be made when the LCME meets in February 2015.
