The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) has granted the Brigham Young University (BYU) School of Medicine candidate status, which is a step toward achieving preliminary accreditation. The U.S. Department of Education recognizes the LCME as the authority for the accreditation of medical education programs leading to the MD degree. The LCME has conducted a survey visit in June 2026 to consider granting BYU School of Medicine preliminary accreditation. If granted, preliminary accreditation would authorize the school to recruit and admit students and launch the MD program. For additional information on accreditation and accreditation verification, visit the LCME website or contact the LCME at lcme@aamc.org.

Why BYU?

I was awakened from sleep with a distinct impression that I needed to prepare a CV and send it to our inaugural Dean, Mark Ott. This was before any jobs were posted and this impression lead to several similar experiences making it clear to my wife, Amy and we were directed here to help with the BYU School of Medicine.
