Current Accreditation Status

The Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania received a full eight-year accreditation in 2016 from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).  At the end of their medical education, students are certified as having completed their requirements for the medical degree, and that information is used for them to obtain a license to work as residents under supervision by a licensed physician in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The LCME lists accredited programs on its website. To request more information or a full report please email psom-lcme@pennmedicine.upenn.edu.
