Last week, we welcomed the LCME survey team to campus for two days of meetings, tours and conversation.
On behalf of the entire UK College of Medicine, thank you.
Leaders, faculty, students, residents, and staff from across our campuses showed up, spoke candidly and represented this college with pride. The team met with people from nearly every part of our educational program, and they shared that we are doing some truly wonderful things.
In their preliminary feedback, they spoke highly of our college governance, the integration of our regional campuses, the support we provide to faculty, our research infrastructure and our student services. These strengths reflect years of steady, collaborative work by people across the college, much of it done quietly and without recognition.
Overall, our college performed extremely well, which reflects the strength of our continuous quality improvement process, the data we gathered, the improvements we made along the way and the daily commitment of everyone who teaches, supports and mentors our students.
These are preliminary impressions. The LCME will complete its review, and the survey team’s formal report and the LCME’s official determination will follow in the coming months. We’ll share updates as soon as we have them.
Thank you for all you do for our students and for the Commonwealth we serve.
