LCME Spotlight Header

LCME Spotlight is a resource from the Office of Educational Improvement (OEI) within the Department of Academic Affairs. The LCME Spotlight is designed to increase faculty and staff awareness and understanding of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) standards (elements) that guide all aspects of the Medical Education Program and their impact upon MCW’s medical school accreditation status.

2027 Site Visit

The MCW School of Medicine is preparing for an LCME site visit in early April 2027. We will feature an LCME accreditation element each month to raise awareness and understanding in preparation for this important event.
