Accreditation 2024-2025
We want our learners and educators to have an MD program that they can be proud of, and one that meets national standards. That's why we're welcoming a panel of national peers and medical education experts from the Committee on the Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) [PDF 490 KB] on February 17-20 and March 24-25, 2025, to review every component our MD program.
CACMS, working with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) in the United States, ensures that Canadian medical schools’ undergraduate medical education programs meet the quality expected when producing tomorrow’s doctors.
