The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) has granted the Brigham Young University 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. It is anticipated that the LCME will conduct a survey visit in June 2026 to consider granting 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.

Mission Statement

The Brigham Young University School of Medicine is founded on the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, the Master Healer, and guided by the doctrine and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We provide a spiritually grounded and scientifically rigorous education for physicians who will minister to God’s children throughout the world as healers, teachers, researchers, leaders, and disciples of Jesus Christ.

We approach the practice of medicine as an opportunity to prevent and alleviate human suffering and to care for all people as fellow children of a loving God.
