All College of Medicine faculty, staff and students are encouraged to provide input at forums that have been scheduled over the next two weeks.
These forums will address the college’s recent accreditation notification.
They are distinct from other forums that have been scheduled regarding the clinical enterprise.
Two forums for faculty/staff are scheduled. They will take place at:
- 7 a.m. today, Sorrell Center, Room 3001.
- 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sorrell Center, Room 3001.
Two forums intended for students will take place at:
- noon today, Sorrell Center, Room 3001
- 12:30 p.m. on March 25, Sorrell Center, Room 2010.
The college’s accrediting body, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), visited UNMC in October as part of the college’s first full-scale review in eight years. The LCME notified the college that it will be accredited but with “warning” status. The college received this status because the LCME identified seven standards (out of the 131 reviewed) that were out of compliance.
College of Medicine Dean Bradley Britigan, M.D., and Gerald Moore, M.D., senior associate dean for education in the college, will speak at the forums.
