Dear College of Medicine Faculty, Staff, and Student

I am pleased to announce that CNUCOM received good news from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). Secretariats. During its June meeting, the LCME has voted to grant full accreditation to the medical education program of the California North State University College of Medicine.

In the coming weeks, we anticipate receiving an offical letter confirming our achievement of "Full Accreditation" for five years with an update of our school's next survey date on the LCME website database from "2024-25" to "2029-30". This is the maximum allowable term before the next mandatory full review for new programs.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated students, faculty, and staff whos hard work has strengthed our medical education program. I especially appreicate the contributions of those who participated directly in the preparation and meetings with the survey team.

Additionally, I am grateful for the unwavering support from University President Alvin Cheung and his team throughout this rigorous process.

Thank you all for your continued commitment to excellaence.
