Steps to Become Accredited
About GMDC Accreditation
GMDC is recognized by the Government of Grenada, the U.S. Department of Education through the NCFMEA, and World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) as the authority for the accreditation of medical education programs leading to a medical doctor degree.
The Government of Grenada, through the Grenada Medical and Dental Council (GMDC), is committed to ensuring high quality medical education in the country. GMDC accomplishes this through the evaluation and review of medical programmes consistent with its standards and procedures which have met the approval of the U.S. Department of Education, WFME and other regional and internationalregulatory bodies. GMDC conducts regular internal reviews of its own policies and procedures, as well as frequent monitoring, communication and networking with its institution(s) to ascertain high standards in medical educational programs.
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is a review process and a status of quality within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and programmes that evaluates and ascertains the presence and level of quality through a comprehensive review process. To evaluate this quality, GMDC focuses on the institutional settings, curriculum, students, academic environment, faculty and institutional effectiveness. This process occurs every 5-8 years. Being accredited, therefore, means that a Higher Education Institution (HEI) and/or program has been assessed and evaluated by an independent agency, like GMDC, who validated their credibility against preestablished standards.
Why GMDC Accreditation?
GMDC Accreditation assures the public, applicant and students, employers, government agencies, regulatory bodies and professional groups that a medical educational program, leading to an MD degree or related qualification, meets accepted standards of quality for educational process and student outcomes.
GMDC Accreditation encourages medical education programmes to bolster their internal quality assurance mechanisms and to review their own operations (self-study) for continuous improvement in quality and accountability.
Accreditation affords the opportunity for an independent agency, such as GMDC to provide guidance to new and current educational institutions and programmes, based on noted trends in quality assurance.
As per the Health Practitioners Act 2010, and the Health Practitioners Amendment Act 2019, a medical doctor degree programme must be accredited by GMDC in order to legally operate in the State of Grenada.
