UMass Chan Self-Study Task Force
The centerpiece of the accreditation process is an institutional self-study which will be overseen by a task force, charged by the dean, collectively representing the broad range of stakeholders and key constituencies for our educational program leading to the MD degree. The Self-study Task Force will include individuals spanning the spectrum of our diverse educational community, representing faculty, students, staff, administration, community affiliates, residents and alumni.
In overseeing our self-study, the Task Force and its subcommittees will comprehensively review, analyze and assess our medical education program, with the goal of defining our institutional strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and further development. As specified by the LCME: “The task force will synthesize its individual subcommittee reports into a final self-study summary report that includes a statement of institutional strengths and issues that require attention, either to ensure future compliance with accreditation standards or to improve programmatic quality.” The Task Force self-study summary report will be broadly disseminated across our UMass Chan educational community and submitted to the LCME.
