LCME Accreditation
What is LCME accreditation?
The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) grants accreditation to U.S. medical education programs that meet established standards. While LCME accreditation is voluntary, this peer-reviewed process of accreditation assures students seeking an MD degree of the quality of the medical education program. LCME accreditation also enables graduates of LCME-accredited medical education programs to be eligible to take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and eligible for residency programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
LCME Accreditation Status
The educational program leading to the doctor of medicine at TTUHSC School of Medicine is fully accredited by the LCME. TTUHSC SOM was last reviewed in 2025 and was awarded “full accreditation of the medical education program for an eight-year term.” The next LCME full accreditation survey will be in the 2032-33 academic year.
TTUHSC SOM is listed on the LCME website of Accredited MD Programs in the United States.
