I have some great news to share. Today, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) has granted “provisional accreditation” to the NSU Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine. The accreditation notice was posted on the LCME web page and is the final step toward “Full Accreditation” which can only be awarded after the first graduating class of students. I am so excited about the progress of our MD program and wanted to acknowledge the caliber and hard work that our faculty and staff have undertaken to achieve such a major milestone toward accreditation amidst a pandemic. Work will now begin to prepare for the final step of the accreditation process – Full Accreditation. The LCME is expected to conduct another site visit during the 2022/2023 academic year and a decision on Full Accreditation is expected by 2023.
