The LCME site visit is scheduled for Oct. 6-9, 2013. During  the accreditation process, <strong>Hugh  Stoddard, Ph.D.,<\/strong> director and special assistant dean for medical education,  will provide a monthly update on accreditation. Dr. Stoddard is self-study  coordinator for the College of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question of the  Month: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Q: <\/em><\/strong>Why does LCME accreditation  have to be such a big production?\u00a0 I  don&#8217;t have much involvement in teaching medical students, so what does my  participation add to this process?\u00a0 Wouldn&#8217;t  it be easier and more efficient if the few people who are closely involved in  medical student education would just write the report?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> One of the characteristics  that the site visitors and the LCME consider in their accreditation decision is  their perception of how important education is to the institution. The LCME  expects that all faculty members at the institution will assume accountability  for the medical education program. One metric for faculty involvement is their  participation in evaluation of that program and their commitment to improving  it through the LCME process.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the site visit team is instructed to include  the following in their report to the LCME (emphasis added): <\/p>\n<p><strong>Comment  on the self-study in terms of the degree of participation by medical school  faculty, administrators, students, and others<\/strong>; the comprehensiveness and  depth of analyses; and the organization and quality of the conclusions and  recommendations. Note the degree to which the survey team&#8217;s major conclusions  are consistent with those of the program&#8217;s self-study.\u00a0 <strong>Include  in the appendix the listing of members of the various self-study task forces  and committees<\/strong> and a copy of the overall or executive summary of the  self-study findings (not the complete self-study report).<\/p>\n<p>Because the goal of the whole accreditation process is to  conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the M.D. program, the self-study and the  site visit report seek to have input from as many perspectives as possible.  This includes faculty members who are not directly related to the M.D. program  but who do, nonetheless, constitute the educational environment of the  institution. If we failed to critique the program from every possible  perspective, then it would be difficult to reach valid conclusions. One method  to help ensure that all possible perspectives are considered in our evaluation  is by including the widest variety of faculty members possible on the various  self-study sub-committees and the Self-Study Task Force.<\/p>\n<p>Last month&#8217;s InterCOM included a list of all the  faculty members and students who are directly participating in the self-study  process. These individuals were assembled to provide the broadest possible representation of academic departments, academic ranks, lengths of service, and  demographic characteristics. In all, 113 different people are directly involved  in reading and evaluating the database information and contributing to the  writing of the self-study.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Why does LCME accreditation have to be such a big production?
