UCF College of Medicine has won full accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), UCF has confirmed with KnightNews.com
The LCME is an accrediting body for educational programs at schools of medicine in the United States and Canada that accredits only the schools that grant a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree.
UCF’s school of medicine was previously working under provisional accreditation and now will move into a fully accredited medical college.
“Full accreditation is necessary for our graduates to be licensed and to be admitted into residency programs,” Wendy Sarubbi, Coordinator of Information/Publications Services for UCF College of Medicine told KnightNews.com back in 2011. “So accreditation means everything.”
The College of Medicine will now be able to provide degrees for its students.
