Does the LCME accredit international medical schools? If not, who does?
The LCME’s scope is limited to the accreditation of complete and independent medical education programs where students are geographically located in the United States or Canada for their education and that are operated by universities or medical schools that are chartered in the United States or Canada. There is no single authority accrediting medical education programs internationally. Some countries have their own processes for educational quality assurance or accreditation, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, and others.
