Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine Accreditation

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredits medical education programs that grant the MD degree. Quinnipiac University’s Frank H. Netter School of Medicine (QU Netter) received full accreditation by the LCME in March 2024 and will undergo its next self-study and LCME site visit in academic year 2029-2030.

QU Netter’s robust approach to continuous quality improvement (CQI) ensures the school meets all current LCME standards and is prepared to meet future standards for its MD program. CQI functions are coordinated through a dedicated CQI Steering Committee that works closely with school leaders to ensure robust evaluation and ongoing improvement for all curricular and non-curricular elements.

To achieve and maintain accreditation, medical schools must demonstrate compliance and ongoing improvement for 12 standards outlined in the LCME Functions and Structure of a Medical School. The standards provide assurance that MD graduates will have the professional competencies necessary for entering residency.
