Independent Student Analysis (ISA)
The ISA survey is led by students per the requirements of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) which is the accrediting body for medical education programs leading to the MD degree in the United States and Canada. The Long School of Medicine is accredited by the LCME, and we are dedicated to maintaining standards of excellence in medical education. This student-led survey is designed to capture comprehensive feedback on the medical education program, institutional resources, and the learning environment by surveying medical students. In support of the medical education program, a resources page is dedicated to providing easy access to medical student resources. Please visit the medical student resources page to learn more.
Why is the ISA survey important?
The Long School of Medicine is dedicated to delivering quality medical education in an environment that provides resources to support the academic journey. The ISA survey offers medical students an opportunity to share feedback on various aspects of medical education. This survey is a required component of LCME accreditation for medical education programs.
LCME Accreditation
The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) is the accrediting authority for medical education programs that award the MD degree in the United States and Canada. It is jointly sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Medical Association (AMA). The LCME ensures that medical education programs adhere to established standards of quality and promote continuous improvement.
