ACCREDITATION

The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine is the ACGME Sponsoring Institution of the ACGME accredited residency and fellowships at Millcreek Community Hospital.

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is an independent, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization that sets and monitors voluntary professional educational standards essential in preparing physicians to deliver safe, high-quality medical care to all Americans. Graduate medical education (GME) refers to the period of education in a particular specialty (residency) or subspecialty (fellowship) following medical school; the ACGME oversees the accreditation of residency and fellowship programs in the U.S.

The Sponsoring Institution received a Probationary Accreditation effective April 19, 2022.  The ACGME conducted a virtual site review on September 29, 2022, and the Sponsoring Institution was removed from Probation and is now on Continued Accreditation with warning.

The sponsoring institution takes ACGME’s decision very seriously and is committed to assuring the improvement of oversight of our Graduate Medical Education programs and to be in substantial compliance with the ACGME Sponsoring Institution requirements. We remain confident in our ability to fully address the issues raised by the ACGME as the sponsoring institution and anticipate doing so with minimal impact to the trainees in our residency and fellowship programs.
