Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)

In 2016 the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) introduced a new expectation mandating schools to implement a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) process for monitoring compliance with accreditation standards.

This requirement was outlined in Element 1.1: Strategic Planning and Continuous Quality Improvement:

A medical school engages in ongoing strategic planning and continuous quality improvement processes that establish its short and long-term programmatic goals, result in the achievement of measurable outcomes that are used to improve educational program quality, and ensure effective monitoring of the medical education program’s compliance with accreditation standards.

We would appreciate your assistance in participating in the CQI process to help monitor and enhance the overall quality of our program. Please fill out the form available at CQI Form.
