What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is a peer-review process designed to attest to the educational quality of new and established educational programs.
It ensures that medical schools are compliant with established standards.
Accreditation is intended to be a continuous quality improvement process, rather than just periodic visits to assess compliance.

Accrediting Bodies
CACMS - Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (under AFMC)
LCME – Liaison Committee on Medical Education (jointly sponsored by the AAMC and AMA)
Canadian medical education programs receive both CACMS and LCME accreditation under the same review process.
