Updates on the LCME Process
Happy Fall! September was a busy month for the LCME Subcommittees. Each subcommittee has been meeting to divide the workload and begin drafting responses to the self-study summary report questions. The teamwork has been very impressive across the board!
The Co-chairs and Key Staff met with Dr. Muller to discuss best practices and challenges and will meet again in December. The LCME Task Force had their first meeting chaired by Dr. Muller with Michelle Sainté as the Key Staff person. The Task Force will be responsible for summarizing the Subcommittee reports and preparing the Self-Study Report that will be submitted to the LCME.
In the coming months, Dr. Muller and the Medical Education Leadership Team will meet with each class to discuss student feedback from a variety of sources including the 2018 AAMC Graduation Questionnaire. Stay tuned!
