Accreditation

The LAU Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine views the process of accreditation as an engine for the quality improvement and sustainability of its program. The school initiated the process of accreditation according to standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME), through its regional representative, the Turkish Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Medical Education Programs (TEPDAD).

On July 12, 2023, the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Medical Education Programs (TEPDAD/Turkey), a World Federation for Medical Education (WFME)-recognized accreditation agency, officially awarded LAU’s Undergraduate Medical Education (MD) program full accreditation until August 31, 2027. This accreditation comes after the program had previously received a two-year provisional accreditation in the summer of 2021, pending the conducting of a face-to-face visit.
