VCU School of Medicine maintains a series of policies that reflect the regulatory standards and mandates that students and faculty follow for LCME compliance. Some policies pertain specifically to students, while others pertain to educators, administrators and specific units within the medical school.
Our curricular policies are approved by the SOM Curriculum Council and cover a variety of topics, including, but not limited to:
LCME Element 1.5: Bylaws
A medical school promulgates bylaws or similar policy documents that describe the responsibilities and privileges of its administrative officers, faculty, and committees.
LCME Element 4.6: Responsibility for Medical School Policies
At a medical school, the dean and a committee of relevant medical school administrators and faculty representatives determine the governance and policymaking processes within their purview.
