Undergraduate Medical Education Accreditation

The purpose of Accreditation is to support medical schools through a process of continuous quality improvement and to ensure they meet the required standards of Canadian medical education programs in the interest of students, faculty, patients, and society. The Undergraduate Medical Education program of the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) has maintained continuous accreditation from the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) since the first students were admitted in 1970. 

We invite CSM community members to share your comments by emailing the appropriate committee chair or by speaking to one of the committee members. We want broad input from faculty, staff, students and anyone who has a stake in the success of our medical school. Comments will be considered and addressed by the appropriate committee chairs.

You can also email the Director of Accreditation Dr. Lea Harper MD, at lea.harper@ucalgary.ca or the Accreditation Manager Suzanne Buffel at sbuffel@ucalgary.ca and we will direct your comment/inquiry to the appropriate person.
