A message from the dean

I am happy to report that the UNMC College of Medicine has been notified by our college’s accrediting body, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), that our “warning” status has been lifted, and that the college is fully accredited through 2022. This was the result of the review by the LCME board of the results of the site visit that occurred in April of this year.
