LCME Accreditation Standards
Functions and Structure of a Medical School
contains LCME standards for accreditation
of medical education programs leading to the M.D. degree in the U.S.
and Canada. Annotation to the standards are provided to clarify the
meaning of standards when necessary. Use of the word "must" in accreditation
standards signifies an absolute requirement. "Should" is a requirement
that must be met unless there is a compelling reason, acceptable to
the LCME, for waiving the need to comply with the standard.
