Schools Accredited in Canada

[thebluthfamily]

Does anyone know if all American schools are Canada-certified and if not, which one's aren't?

There is no such thing as 'Canadian' certification.

 

The Liason Committee of Medical Education which is sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and American Medical Association is accrediting authority for all medical schools in the US.

 

You can visit lcme.org for more information.

Hmm..my friend was telling me about a list he saw of American schools you could study at and still be accredited in Canada. I tried looking for one, but couldn't find anything.

For all intents and purposes, Canadian and US schools are the exact same. It's Canadian vs. US residencies that an cause some issues with licensing.

I believe US and Canadian medical schools are accredited by the same body , so all US schools should be accredited in both US and Canada.

CACMS is the Canadian accreditation body, and the LCME is the corresponding American group. The LCME accredits allopathic US schools as well as Canadian schools jointly with CACMS. The standards are a bit different.
